Reviews
This book, with its central focus on the parent-child relationship, offers a unique and very important contribution. Parents struggle terribly in their efforts to make sense of the behavior of a child with a wide range of neuro-developmental challenges that currently fall under the heading of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Drawing on extensive evidence from the fields of genetics and neuroscience as well as in-depth clinical material, the authors show how a clinician can set these children on healthy developmental paths by supporting parents' efforts to find meaning in their children's behavior. -- Claudia M. Gold, MD, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, author of "Keeping Your Child in Mind"
This is a cutting-edge book about autism spectrum disorder. It has concise summaries of numerous etiologic and associated factors known concerning ASD. The clinical vignettes include heartening and compelling examples of new and old therapies and how treated children can 'lose' their ASD diagnoses. -- Gilbert Kliman, MD, The Children's Psychological Trauma Center
