A broad guide to autism across home, school, and adulthood

Chantal Sicile-Kira’s guide brings together information on autism spectrum disorders with practical topics for families, educators, caregivers, and other professionals. Its coverage ranges from causes and diagnosis to behavioral, psychological, and biomedical interventions, while also addressing family coping strategies, educational needs, and teaching resources. The book extends beyond childhood, including living and working conditions for adults with ASD and ways of engaging with the community. This revised edition also discusses research, treatment methods, and DSM-V criteria as presented in the book; readers should treat those time-sensitive areas as the guide’s coverage rather than current verification.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers seeking a broad reference on autism and family support
  • Educators and professionals interested in educational needs, teaching strategies, and resources
  • Readers seeking information about autism across childhood and adulthood
