Book excerpt: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has received considerable educational, research, medical and media attention the past ten years. Yet the condition was first described more than a hundred years ago. Due to the disorder being confused with childhood schizophrenia, there was a lack of definitive attention by special educators, medical professionals and mental health clinicians to advance parameters related to: causes; prevalence; identification and diagnosis; education and treatment. Positively, this confusion changed starting in the 1980s with the clarification of the differences between these disorders with the 1980 publication of the” Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” (DSM-III). Soon after, the 1990 federal legislation “Individuals with Disabilities Education Act” recognized the disorder as a disability category eligible for special education services. Both of these events lead to an explosion of information related to: finding causes; accurate identification and diagnosis; best educational practices; and social, emotional, and behavioral treatments. Even with this explosion in the body of knowledge concerned with this disorder, much more needs to be learned and discovered. The successful use of this body of knowledge requires that accurate information be provided to educators, parents, clinicians, medical professionals, and mental health professionals to counter misinformation that exists among the general public, educators and clinical professionals. This is the primary purpose of “Autism Spectrum Disorders: Inclusive Community for the 21st Century”. It is accomplished by chapters on: the delineation of a blueprint for systems of care for persons with ASD and their families; a model to assist professionals in tackling the challenge of developing employability for individuals with high functioning ASD; best practice and research guidelines that lead to an affirmative ASD diagnosis; a comprehensive and current synopsis of genetic factors associated with ASD; adjustment challenges that may be present for a sibling of an individual with ASD; a comprehensive description of an innovative community-based clinic that provides services needed by Individuals with ASD to meet their social, behavioral, educational and mental health needs; and effective treatment strategies and techniques that can be utilized by parents and educators to work effectively with children who have ASD. The chapters are written by researchers, clinicians, business professionals, and university professors who have an extensive knowledge of ASD. The contents of the book are an excellent reference for special education teachers, school psychologists, practicing mental health clinicians, and parents and family members of children and adults with ASD.

Book excerpt: Discover the fascinating and silent universe of female autism in this comprehensive and enlightening book. Based on our experience gained over decades in supporting women on the autism spectrum, this work offers a deep and insightful view of the challenges and achievements of autistic women. The knowledge and experience accumulated over the years allows us to share information that is essential to understanding the mechanics of how the world of autistic women works. We have witnessed the damage caused by a lack of knowledge, both for autistic women themselves and for society in general. Ignorance is an open door to discrimination, injustice and stigmatization. The practice of segregation and discrimination deprives society of the valuable contributions of these unique people who reside on the autism spectrum. Within this universe, we find extraordinary individuals who left indelible marks on history: renowned scientists, great artists, influential statesmen, brilliant thinkers and people of great genius. It is true that not all autistic people have exceptional talents, but they are all human beings worthy of respect and appreciation. Information is the key to promoting knowledge, which in turn leads to teaching, education and the ability to transform a fearful society into a participatory and empathetic society with the autistic cause. Solid and healthy information prepares those who live in this peculiar universe, relieving the weight of the lack of understanding, fear and lack of perspective that permeate their lives. The importance of this book lies in its ability to fill a significant gap in the literature on autism by giving voice to the unique and often overlooked experiences of autistic women. While much of the knowledge about autism focuses on male experiences, this work highlights the complexity and diversity of female autistic experiences, offering valuable insights for professionals, families, and women on the spectrum themselves. Exploring a wide range of topics, from diagnostic challenges to the impact of autism on everyday life, this book provides an in-depth understanding of the issues facing autistic women. Additionally, it offers practical guidance and strategies to address these challenges, empowering autistic women to confidently navigate a world that does not always understand them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an overview of the current scientific understanding of autism spectrum disorders, as well as a cultural and historical perspective on the controversies that plague the field. "Autism" describes a complex developmental disability that interferes with social interaction and communication. Symptoms of autism are generally recognizable when children are under the age of three. Until the 1990s, rates for autism were generally estimated at 1 in 2500. In 2010, however, the estimate is now 1 in 110 children. Is the incidence of autism increasing, or has there simply been a shift in how often this disability is diagnosed as the problem? This text provides a comprehensive explanation of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Reference Handbook educates readers about ASD without relying on confusing medical jargon, highlighting current understanding of etiology, neuroscience, and intervention. It also discusses the historical and cultural influences of ASD and explores the controversial aspects of autism.
