Today at least seven million children and adolescents are afflicted with developmental, behavioral, or mental disorders such as Asperger's Disorder.

Examining the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of this condition, Asperger's Disorder:

is filled with comprehensive treatments in Asperger's Disorder, including diagnostic tools, imaging techniques, case studies, etiology, treatments, and pharmacotherapies

gives necessary guidance to psychiatrists and neurologists to ensure that they can correctly diagnose Asperger's Disorder from other neuro-developmental disorders

investigates prevalence of Asperger's Disorder and presents individual case studies

devotes entire chapters to the individual subjects: diagnosis, biological treatment, pharmacological treatment, and behavioral treatment

Industry Reviews

I think there is a clear need for this book as there is increasing recognition of the autistic spectrum as distinct from simply hard core autism, and also either a distinct rise in either the prevalence or recognition of these disorders or both, plus a recognition of the great burden on school systems, families and teachers as they attempt to cope with what are life long disabilities in the absence of any clear cut biological treatments. The book looks well organized and comprehensive.
