What are the specific behavioral characteristics associated with the syndrome of autism? What are the current, and past, controversies surrounding etiology, diagnosis and treatment issues? How effective are current treatment models? Beginning with a thorough discussion of the history of autism, this authoritative volume details the behavioral characteristics associated with this fascinating disorder, diagnostic issues and assessment procedures, theories of etiology, and treatment approaches. The volume provides coverage of extensive research into these areas, particularly regarding behavioral treatment. "A superb book that is must reading for anyone interested in autism. Schreibman's vast experience and scholarship are evident throughout this outstanding work." --Richard M. Foxx, Southern Illinois University "Scholarly, concise, readable, and loaded with useful references. This book represents the best single introduction to the problem that exists in the field today. Required reading for trainees in special education, clinical psychology, speech pathology, and child psychiatry. Outstanding resource for veteran investigators and clinicians as well. I am already looking forward to the second edition." --Edward Carr, SUNY at Stony Brook "[Dr. Schreibman] has been one of the true leaders in the behavioral study of this enigmatic disorder. My pleasure was derived even more from the excellence of this scholarly, yet highly readable, volume.

I am delighted that a book of this quality is now available." --Glen Dunlap, University of South Florida "Laura Schreibman has constructed a timely and important update for families, practitioners, and researchers concerned with autism.
