In this new book Simon Baron-Cohen summarizes the current understanding of autism and Asperger Syndrome. He explains the process of diagnosis, as well as the options for education and intervention for those with these conditions. Taking a lifespan approach, Professor Baron-Cohen considersa how the conditions affect very young children through to adulthood. He also outlines his new Empathizing-Systemizing (ES) theory, which aims to explain all of the psychological features of autistic-spectrum conditions.
This book is designed firstly

The book will also provide an invaluable introduction to the topic for students in the social and biological sciences.Readership: Parents of children with autism or Asperger Syndrome. Also of interest to general practitioners, therapists, social workers, students of psychology, medicine, psychiatry, and teachers.
