The Autism Spectrum: Identification, Understanding, and Treatment in Global Context provides an update to the basic and clinical sciences of autism with an understanding of how research and clinical treatments are affected by recent shifts of focus: from diagnostic categories to symptomatic dimensions, from provider-centered to patient-centered treatment approaches, from high-resource, individualistic country insights to those contributed from global cultures.

This volume discusses the field’s current state, whence it has come, where it is going, and how to get there. The volume weds basic and clinical understandings, state-of-the-art multivariate analyses, historical and cross-cultural information and relevance, and a patient-centered focus.

  • Discusses clinical features, subtypes, and targets for therapy
