Produktbeschreibung
Incisive and engaging, iThe Many Faces of Autism/i considers the different genetic, neurological and environmental causes of, and contributory factors to autism, concluding that there is a 'biological autism'. It takes a wide-ranging view of developmental and genetic autism factors, and considers autism's relationship with other conditions such as epilepsy. It also works to shed light on the vast number of related syndromes which are all too often denied adequate attention. Thoroughly researched yet accessible, this key text uses a combination of genetics and neuropathological studies to cut through common misconceptions and persuasively argue that every case of autism has a 'cause', if a complex one, that it is a biological rather than behavioural condition, and that while there are many autisms, there is only one autism.
