Autism and Asperger’s Conditions covers a wide range of issues relating to the care and support of those with autism and Asperger’s syndrome. This book aims to improve nurses’ professional interactions with those with autism spectrum disorders through improved awareness, knowledge and understanding of what these conditions are and what they are not, possible causes, diagnostic issues, nursing interventions, the history of autism, and issues that affect children, adolescents and adults with these conditions and their families. A highly practical and accessible text, autism spectrum conditions are covered from a variety of perspectives, both within and outside of a learning disability setting.
