Sách Autism in Adulthood (Sách keo gáy, bìa mềm)
This book evaluates how autism is experienced and
addressed in four areas critical to the developmental phase of
adulthood: self-awareness, individuality, comprehensive support systems,
and the dissemination of information and expanded education. The
editors present comprehensive coverage of new developments in the field
of adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), particularly with regards
to the updating of diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5 and an increased
level of interest in research on adults with ASD. Contributors also make
recommendations regarding services that should be provided to people
with ASD based on recognition of their needs, the frequent lack of
accessibility to relevant services, and an understanding of how a
person's living situation both influences and is influenced by the way
they conduct their lives.
Among the topics discussed:
The distinctive stage of Emerging Adulthood in individuals with ASD
Late diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder
Sexuality and romantic relationships among people with ASD
Parents, siblings, and communities of individuals with ASD
Cultural-demographic influences on life choices among people with ASD
Adult women on the high-functioning autism spectrum
The experience of academia and employment for people with ASD
Autism in Adulthood
is a unique resource for professionals, clinicians, researchers and
caregivers that emphasizes both theoretical and practical information
regarding ASD in the critical adult stage of life.
