| Summary |
The precise relationship between high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome is still a subject of debate. In this volume, leaders in the field provide a general overview of the disorder and present diverse opinions on - diagnosis and assessment - neuropsychological issues - treatment, and - related conditions. A special section features personal essays by individuals diagnosed with autism or Asperger Syndrome. The result is a comprehensive and useful survey of the current state of the field that will be of great interest to clinicians, teachers, researchers, and parents |
