Editorial Reviews

Review

"Synthesizes some of the current research into the many puzzling clinical and biomedical questions around the spectrum of autistic disorders, as an aid to clinical investigators and basic scientists, who are trying to figure out where autism comes from and what to do about it. The topics include genetics, neurophysiologic observations, brain chemistry, positron emission, and memory function." -- SciTech Book News



"Anyone doing research in autism or other developmental disorders will find this an invaluable book to read to make sure all areas are understood and to serve as a rich source of references." -- American Journal of Psychiatry



"An excellent portal to the vast area of autism research." -- Wim E. Crusio, Genes, Brain and Behavior

5.0 out of 5 stars invaluble for understanding the true cause of autism, April 7, 2007
no annecdotal nonsense here. Dr Bauman a Harvard neurologist who has studied the brains of those with autism for years. Her voluminous research dispels the causal myths of autism. Her evidence shows that the assault to the primitive brain affecting the limbic system and cerebellum manifesting as autism happens prenatally.

3.0 out of 5 stars A futile approach, May 25, 2006
By random reader (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
An elusive and complex disorder is how autism is presented in this book. That's absolutely right, but I don't think this book even begins to give a clue as to the nature of autism. I think the approach has a lot to be desired: We have to assume that the nervous system evolved in order to gratify basic drives. In higher animals, basic drives are refined into emotions. So, what do the neurobiologists say? According to them, autism is a neurobiological problem, but not an emotional one! That's worse than just getting things bass-ackwards. It's being stubbornly reductionist and deliberately obtuse.
