This volume takes a multidisciplinary approach to autism, its causes and treatments, bringing together contributors from different fields - psychology, medicine, education, biology - from around the world. Both scientific and clinical research is presented and discussed by experts, and questions such as the structure of thought and the nature of autism are analyzed. Parents and teachers describe practical strategies which have proved successful and give their views on the treatments available. This book shares the knowledge accumulated by all fields studying autism to provide a greater coherence to our understanding of it.
