Description
Understanding and Treating Self-Injurious Behavior in Autism: A Multi-Disciplinary Perspective by Stephen M. Edelson and Jane Botsford Johnson is a comprehensive guide to addressing this complex issue. Self-injurious behavior, affecting nearly half of those with autism, encompasses various forms such as head banging, hand biting, and excessive scratching. This book provides an in-depth analysis of self-injurious behavior (SIB) in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or related developmental disabilities, exploring the underlying causes and treatment options. The authors outline a range of contributing factors, including medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, gastrointestinal issues, allergies, and stress, highlighting the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to uncovering the root causes of SIB. With contributions from leading experts in research and treatment, this book offers a valuable resource for practitioners, parents, and direct care providers working with individuals with ASD or related conditions.
