Synopsis

The definitive, in-depth guide to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), updated with new DSM-V and ICD-11 definitions and many new chapters

Since the original edition was first published more than a quarter of a century ago, The Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders has been the most influential reference work in the field of autism and related conditions and is now regarded as the definitive, in-depth guide to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Along with providing practical clinical advice including the role of psychopharmacology in treatment, the Handbook codifies the ever-expanding current body of research throughout both volumes, offering a wealth of information on the epidemiology of autism and the genetic, environmental, biochemical, social, and neuropathological aspects of the disorder.

The newly updated Fifth Edition takes into account the changes in the disorders' definitions in the DSM-V and ICD-11 and includes new chapters on topics including gene-environment interaction, theoretical models of autism, and developmental neurobiology.

Volume One of The Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders includes the latest research on:

  • ASD in infants, toddlers, school-age children, and adults, with information on broader social development in autism
  • Play development in children with ASDs through skills, object play, and interventions
  • Imitation in ASDs, autism and emotion, and motor control and motor learning processes in ASDs
  • Sensory features in ASDs and genetic features of ASDs
  • Environmental factors in the preconception and prenatal periods in relation to risk for ASD

Volume One of The Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders is an essential reference for all students and professionals studying and working in fields related to ASD.
