Autism by Sarah Lennard-Brown

Autism by Sarah Lennard-Brown

Autism is a very complex disorder which affects the way a person experiences and interacts with the world around them. This book starts by trying to understand what autism is all about, then looks at high-functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome, and how these affect people. Current research and theories as to the causes of autism are explored, together with various therapies. The book concludes by looking at how people live with autism - both the individual with the condition, and their family and friends. It is clearly designed, with colour photos, glossary, resource section and index.

Important series aimed at teenagers.. The amount of textual information is impressive, and the explanations, while clear, are often complex. Individuals' stories add greatly to the impact of the information, as do photographs and graphics, and parents and carers will find the book of vital interest. -- Books for Keeps 20040101
