"Autism is one of the most heterogeneous conditions there is,and this is matched by a proliferation of theories that try toexplain it. Can ideas about the brain derived from neuroscience andideas about treatments derived from best practice ever speak toeach other? This book proves that they can.
Research on autism has flourished in the last twenty years, and a result of this growth is increased specialization within the neurocognitive, clinical and interventionist fields of inquiry. As specialities swell, however, research lines become isolated. This collection of research on autism spectrum disorders investigates a range of current thinking -- from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging studies to naturalistic intervention.

Autism: An Integrated View features contributions from scientific teams at the forefront of contemporary research on autism. These experts have concluded that an interdisciplinary approach is not only necessary to the understanding of this complex developmental disorder but is also an essential link in defining key issues found in other disciplines. The text includes helpful cross reference sections to connect chapter topics; its introductory and concluding chapters highlight major research themes while exploring broader issues on the integration of autism research. This comprehensive overview balances a wide scope of perspectives for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
