Book ID/图书代码： 06930005B11231

English Summary/英文概要： Understanding the Nature of Autism and Asperger’s Disorder is ’a consultation with Prof. Ritvo’ - a thoroughly accessible introduction for professionals, families, spouses and individuals with autism and Asperger’s Disorder. Prof. Ritvo traces the historical development of understanding about autism and Asperger’s Disorder, from the centuries of misdiagnoses and the first recognition of the characteristics of the disorders to his own highly-regarded methods for making a diagnosis. Drawing on case histories from forty years’ of clinical practice, he explains their basic nature, what the causes are, what is different in the brain, treatments that work (and those that don’t), what a child with a diagnosis might be like when he or she grows up, and what future research may hold. This book will be an absolute must-read for anyone with an interest in autism and Asperger’s Disorder, whether a practitioner, a parent, a student, or an affected individual. Edward R. Ritvo MD is a pivotal figure in the world of Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. His work in the 1970’s contributed in a fundamental way to the reclassification of Autism to include the higher-functioning forms in the spectrum, such as Aspergers Syndrome. Much of what is known about these disorders today is based on his painstaking research and groundbreaking discoveries. He is an internationally recognized medical expert, researcher and pioneer in the field, and co-author of the official diagnostic criteria in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). In this new book he shares his forty years’ experience and opens his extensive UCLA casebook to the reader.
