This volume covers several perspectives on autism which bring together the most recent scientific views of the nature of this disorder. A number of themes organize major developments and emerging areas in autism:
- Cognitive and neural systems development: how autism arises in the behavior and thought of very young children.
- Discovering brain mechanisms underlying social and cognitive deficits in autism: how we can explain "social awkwardness" and poor language comprehension in terms of malfunctions of brain mechanisms, revealed by fMRI studies of people with autism.
- Integrating information about genes, brain, and biological mechanisms with behavioral evidence.
- Linking the science of autism with lives lived: how the new information about autism impacts people with autism and real-world considerations. <
"If you’re a clinician or scientist and you want a one-stop opportunity to stay on top of the latest thought and research into the development of autism in early childhood, I suggest you read this book. The editors -Dr. Just and Dr. Pelphrey - are well-regarded experts in the field, and the contributing authors describe some fascinating and insightful work." - John Elder Robison, Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, US Department of Health and Human Services
"A truly marvelous book. This volume addresses a critically important area with outstanding contributors in cutting edge areas of research. It will be of great interest to researchers and clinicians alike." - Fred R. Volkmar, M.D., Yale University School of Medicine
