Opportunities for Research: Concepts and Future Directions, Ami Klin, Katarzyna Chawarska, and Fred R. VolkmarReviewsAn exciting frontier in autism spectrum disorders is early diagnosis and intervention. This timely new book provides invaluable illumination of this area by synthesizing research and offering numerous clinical pearls to inform clinicians. Written by a distinguished group of clinical investigators, the book authoritatively reviews and evaluates a large number of topics relevant to assessment and treatment. It is an invaluable aid to those with an interest in infant mental health, developmental disabilities, developmental psychopathology, and prevention science. --Charles H. Zeanah, MD, Sellars Polchow Professor, Vice Chair for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Tulane University One of the most exciting developments in the autism field in the past decade has been the study of autism as it emerges in infancy and toddlerhood. This exceptional volume captures the crest of this wave by summarizing clinical and experimental studies of autism in early childhood. Its scope encompasses screening, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as cutting-edge theoretical models that may help us to better understand what lies at the core of autistic development. This is a 'must read' for scientists interested in early autism and should be recommended to training and practicing clinicians in a wide variety of fields, including psychology, child psychiatry, pediatrics, speech-language pathology, and early education. --Tony Charman, PhD, Institute of Child Health, University College London, UK This exemplary volume brings together truly state-of-the-art discussions of new concepts and methods in the early diagnosis and treatment of children with autism spectrum disorders. Autism has gone from a rare, poorly understood disorder to a well-defined syndrome that is now recognized as more common than Down syndrome, epilepsy, or cancer in children. To no small extent, our improved understanding, identification, and treatment of the youngest children with autism has stemmed from work conducted by the editors and contributors of this integrated, exceedingly well-organized volume. --Peter C.

Chawarska and her colleagues not only offer an excellent presentation of current research and theory, but also convey the background and framework for where we should go next. - Catherine Lord, Department of Psychology, University of Michigan; Director, University of Michigan Autism and Communication Disorders Center An exciting frontier in autism spectrum disorders is early diagnosis and intervention.
