Autism

Aimed at the medical and teaching professions, this work introduces the medical background to autism and discusses educational approaches to helping those diagnosed as autistic. The authors attempt to bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical understandings of autism. This book attempts to go some way towards bridging the gap between theoretical understanding of autism and understanding it in the practice of daily life. The cause of autism is physical, biological and organic and people with autism require specialised education and support matched to their particular difficulties.
