      When Autism is the Rule, not the Exception

      by Joyce van Maaren

But most of all, they will be inspired to make the most of every day, even if they or their family has to deal with autism (or other psychological disorders). Target Group: people with autism and their relatives, families of which some members have autism.

      Mindfulness for Adults with Autism

      A Handbook for Therapists and Adults with ASD

      by Annelies Spek

      This book discusses a new type of therapy that can help people with autism to be less overburdened, let go of recurrent thoughts, and get better at recognizing physical signs of stress. Mindfulness includes meditation techniques that are derived from Buddhism and that do not require much communication or insight in thoughts and feelings. This is especially beneficial for people with autism, for whom communication and social interaction can be a challenge. After a clear introduction to what mindfulness is, each chapter of this book offers a meditation exercise. For each meditation exercise useful tips and tricks are given, as well as potential pitfalls that relate directly to autism. Mindfulness for adults with autism is the first treatment for adults with autism that has proven to be effective. Because of its readability and the beautiful illustrations, this book is highly recommended for both therapists and people with autism.

      by Marja Boxhoorn

      When you have autism, you probably have to cope with stress on a daily basis.

In seven steps, the reader learns what causes stress, how to recognise stress signals, and what they can do to feel more at ease. The book includes practical exercises so new knowledge can be applied right away. Being more at ease means to be able to: have better relationships with a partner, family, friends and colleagues, focus attention to get things done more easily, have a grip on life, instead of experiencing chaos, restlessness and insecurity and feel more powerful and have more self-esteem.

      Autism - A Handbook Of Diagnosis & Treatment Of ASD

      A handbook of diagnosis and treatement of ASD

      by Sumita Bose

      Autism is a complex developmental disability. Generally, Autism presents itself during the first three years of a person's life. The condition has an effect on normal brain function characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behaviour. Males are five times more likely to be affected than females. As early as infancy, a baby with Autism may be unresponsive to people or focus intently on one item only. A child may appear to develop normally and then withdraw and become indifferent to social engagement. Children may fail to respond to their names and often avoid eye contact with other people. They have difficulty interpreting what others are thinking or feeling because they can't understand social cues. “Autism – A Handbook of Diagnosis & Treatment of ASD” discusses signs, symptoms, causes, myths, facts, therapies, treatment, education, career and many more things related to autism. It provides practical advice so that the special child can lead a quality life to the extent possible. #v&spublishers

      Autism and the Environment

      Challenges and Opportunities for Research, Workshop Proceedings

      by Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, Institute of Medicine

      Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) constitute a major public health problem, affecting one in every 150 children and their families. Unfortunately, there is little understanding of the causes of ASD, and, despite their broad societal impact, many people believe that the overall research program for autism is incomplete, particularly as it relates to the role of environmental factors. The Institute of Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, in response to a request from the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, hosted a workshop called "Autism and the Environment: Challenges and Opportunities for Research." The focus was on improving the understanding of the ways in which environmental factors such as chemicals, infectious agents, or physiological or psychological stress can affect the development of the brain. Autism and the Environment documents the concerted effort which brought together the key public and private stakeholders to discuss potential ways to improve the understanding of the ways that environmental factors may affect ASD. The presentations and discussions from the workshop that are described in this book identify a number of promising directions for research on the possible role of different environmental agents in the etiology of autism.
