Looks at the conditions that make up the autism spectrum in terms of characteristics, diagnosis and prevalence. This book discusses the problematic issue of how we should conceptualize the spectrum. It combines perspectives from psychiatry, psychology, philosophy and sociology to provide an account of the autism spectrum.
