What you need to know about autism / Christopher M. Cumo.
Autism is a spectrum of developmental disorders that can range from mild to severe. Individuals with autism often have difficulties with communication, social interaction, and sensory processing, and may engage in repetitive or restricted behaviors. Beyond this definition, however, what finer points and real-life implications of these disorders do individuals and families affected by autism need to know? Greenwood's "Inside Diseases and Disorders" series explores some of the key diseases and disorders, both physical and psychological, affecting the world today. Each book examines a condition holistically, covering topics such as signs and symptoms, causes and risk factors, diagnosis and management, and prevention. They also address broader issues of vital importance, including the effects on family and friends and medical and societal controversies related to the condition. Every book lists 10 "essential questions" readers are likely to have and features engaging case studies that offer real-world insights. -- From publisher's description.
