Reviews

<br> This is an exhaustive look at a topic that has received a lot of attention lately. There are literally hundreds of references/suggested readings for further research. The book contains helpful tables and figures, including eight pages (front and back) of colorful, glossy pictures. It is a book that researchers and clinicians should have in their libraries. -- Doody's<br><p><br>

Any department or library seeking to update its knowledge base on state-of-the-art autism research in a single volume would do well to acquire it... the book could hardly be bettered. * Child and Adolescent Mental Health Journal * An outstanding book that brings together the latest research results, discusses them and puts them into an overall perspective. * Psychological Medicine * This is an exhaustive look at a topic that has received a lot of attention lately. There are literally hundreds of references/suggested readings for further research. The book contains helpful tables and figures, including eight pages (front and back) of colorful, glossy pictures. It is a book that researchers and clinicians should have in their libraries. * Doody's Notes * There have in recent years been different reference works published on this subject, but the first edition of Autism Spectrum Disorders immediately deserves a place in the highest echelons. * Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie, Dec 2012 *
