most recent progress in the understanding of autism and related conditions, and
offers an international perspective on the present state of the discipline.
Chapters cover current approaches to definition and diagnosis; prevalence and
planning for service delivery; cognitive, genetic,and neurobiological features;
and pathophysiological mechanisms. There is a new chapter covering
communication issues. Interventions reviewed include the pharmacological,
behavioral, and educational, and a thoughtful final chapter addresses the
nature of the fundamental social disturbance that characterizes
autism."--BOOK JACKET.

Waltz, M. Pervasive
developmental disorders: Diagnosis, options, and answers Future Horizons.
Pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) include autism and a range of other
neurological disorders. While at least 250,000 Americans have been diagnosed
with PDD-NOS, one-third of whom are children, twice as many may remain
undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Parents of a young child with undiagnosed PDD may
suspect any number of things, from autism to severe allergies. Pervasive
Developmental Disorders: Diagnosis, Options, and Answers is for parents (or
newly diagnosed adults) who struggle with this neurological condition. Medications,
therapies, and educational techniques can address symptoms and improve the
lives of people with PDD. In some cases, the results can be spectacular.
Weaving in a range of stories from parents who are raising children with PDDs,
author Mitzi Waltz covers topics such as: ? Getting a diagnosis, including
preparing for a diagnostic interview in a medical, psychiatric, or school
setting, with descriptions of all diagnostic tests and checklists/questions
used by professionals ?Treatment options such as: medications and supplements;
sensory integration; occupational, physical, and speech therapy; behavior
modification; "floor time" play and talk therapy; and parenting
techniques ? Coping with diagnosis and treatment, including emotions and support
systems, insurance, and educational plans
