Spectrum, causes, diagnosis, therapy and advice

The author of this book describes a modern approach that is gradually beginning to establish itself: autism is not a rare and severe disability, but is instead a relatively common phenomenon with a broad spectrum people affected, ranging from the mentally handicapped to the highly gifted, and with forms that range from mild to severe. The book provides answers to many questions from those affected, including from parents and teachers as well as professionals. How does an autistic spectrum disorder develop? How is autism diagnosed? What proven strategies provide support in everyday education and school life? A series of case histories serve to illustrate the diversity in autism. In addition, the book includes practical instructions for children and young people on the autism spectrum as well as for their parents and therapists, in the form of detailed learning aids.
