Parents of a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) need clear, comprehensive information to decipher the complex, behavior-based diagnostic evaluations and definitions. This invaluable guide for lay readers - parents, educators, and caregivers - describes the five types of autism that fall under the ASD umbrella, spells out the distinctions among them, demystifies the technical jargon, and provides an overview of treatment. • This book is an excellent tool for parents who don't fully understand their child's diagnosis or wonder whether there is another ASD diagnosis that's more appropriate to their child. It's also useful to parents who suspect their child has ASD but don't yet have a diagnosis. • Contents: So, You Suspect Your Child May Have an ASD; Autism: History, Myths, Progress, Demographics, and Theories of Cause; Breaking Down the Five Autism Spectrum Disorders; Common Features of ASD; Pinpointing the Right ASD Diagnosis; The Diagnostic Process; Your Child Has Just Been Diagnosed with an ASD... Now What?; Treatment; Resource Guide; Recommended Reading; References. • Written by Carolyn Thorwarth Bruey, Psy.D. Paperback, 241 pages, 2004. |
