Samenvatting
In this major reference work the authors give a complete account of what is currently known about autism, which will be an invaluable source book to all clinicians who interact with autistic patients. In the first parts, the book describes and reviews the clinical considerations and also reviews the general literature, including genetical studies and brain imaging. Part III reviews other disease states that possess a subgroup showing autistic syndromes and Part IV gives an account of treatments of autism currently under investigation.
