Handlexikon Autismus-Spektrum

Autism has been the focus of a controversial interdisciplinary discussion over the last few years. Next to enhanced criteria in regards to the diagnosis of autism, early diagnosis during infantry and more detailed tools in regards to registering autistic behaviour, the debate was increasingly characterised by the mongering of autistic behaviour. The result of this development is a breadth of expert and key terms, as well as new interpretations of existing terms. All of the significant key terms, which are important from a practical and theoretical point of view, are being addressed by the book and it therefore represents a solid scientific guide.
