There is clear evidence that people with ASDs are at an increased risk of developing a range of co-morbid conditions and this book, whose author is a child psychiatrist specializing in childrens and adults with ASDs, seeks to offer clear advice and guidance on early detection and treatment. The author recognizes that many problems such as mood swings, angry outbursts, depression and anxiety are often dismissed by professionals as part of the condition of autism and therefore go untreated. This book provides an overview of the wide range of behavioural problems and psychiatric disorders that may affect people with autism and Asperger syndrome and treatments that are available. It is a very comprehensive book and certainly the most informative I have found on the subject so far. I would strongly recommend this book. (The Sheffield Autistic Society Newsletter)
This book is a unique publication, and although written in the USA... it translates into a British perspective easily. It is an honest exploration of common contemporary phenomena that is often confused with unrelated presentations, resulting in a second-class mental health service for sufferers, carers and relatives. It challenges stereotypes, informs the reader and provides hope, therefore it would be of significant benefit to students and qualified professionals of all disciplines. (Mental Health Practice)
I think the author has done an admirable job in this book. It is primarily aimed at parents and caregivers. I certainly think that all professionals involved with the care of people with ASD will find it very valuable... The main message of the book is that people with ASD suffer from a wide range of behavioural and psychiatric disorders at various stages in their lives and that recognition, diagnosis and treatment is crucial to better outcomes for this group. (The Journal of Intellectual Disability Research)
