The book explores the complexities of autism diagnosis, including controversial diagnoses such as PDA, ODD, CD, ASPD, and BPD, and discusses best practice for investigating Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII). It also examines the specific challenges of autism diagnosis in relation to women and girls, BAME communities, schools, and the criminal justice system.
