Reviews

While many books have been written about young children with ASD, there is little published about older children, adolescents, and emerging adults with ASD - until now. This timely and much-need book focuses on a segment of the adolescent ASD population that we know the least about in terms of what services are needed and available, and how to best assist them to attain their academic, social, and employment goals. Luminary chapter authors provide up-to-date, research-based information on existing treatment options, diagnostic assessments, and current understanding of how to best meet the needs of this underserved population. As a clinician who works closely with this patient population, I highly recommend this book as a go-to resource for anyone interested in the most up-to-date information on adolescents with ASD. * Michael S.
