Includes bibliographical references and index.
"This concise volume offers an accessible overview on recent clinical and research perspectives addressing autism and autistic functioning. Offering an innovative lens, the book benefits from two different angles: a concrete and pragmatical view of an expert clinician with three decades of practice in diagnosis and treatment of autism, as well as a more "theoretic" and "long-term" view of a researcher that works on neural and computational architecture of (a)typical neurocognitive functioning. Trying to understand autism beyond its behavioral symptoms, the book spans from clinical descriptions (e.g., communicating diagnosis; clinical intervention; prognosis) to recent neuroscientific evidence supporting a potential perspective-shift. The fil rouge of this volume can be summarized in three fundamental aspects that should orient any clinical practice in the context of autism (e.g., diagnosis; treatment; monitoring; etc.): we need an age-dependent, context-dependent, and functioning-dependent approach. Understanding Autism and Autistic Functioning is a crucial reading for parents and caregivers, and professionals in health, education and social care"-- Provided by publisher.
