Description

Autism and Asperger Syndrome by Simon Baron-Cohen This book provides a comprehensive overview of autism and Asperger Syndrome, covering diagnosis, education, and intervention options. Professor Baron-Cohen takes a lifespan approach, exploring how these conditions affect individuals from early childhood to adulthood. He also outlines his Empathizing-Systemizing (ES) theory, which aims to explain the psychological features of autistic-spectrum conditions. The book is designed to support individuals with autism and Asperger Syndrome, as well as their families and caregivers. It will also be valuable for clinicians, teachers, and other professionals involved in the care and support of people on the autistic spectrum. Additionally, students in the social and biological sciences will find this book an invaluable introduction to the topic. By summarizing the current understanding of autism and Asperger Syndrome, this book offers a clear and authoritative guide to these conditions.
