This book will also delve into how to support pediatric patients by working with families, and discuss how to best interact with and support these families. The book opens with a comprehensive introduction of ASD and obstacles to diagnosis and common myths. Section Two is devoted to the early recognition of atypical development and reviews the steps in diagnosing autism, including the evaluation, the diagnostic visit, the developmental exam, and the discussion of findings with parents. Section Three covers treatment and interventions for the autism spectrum and includes a discussion on alternative therapies and how to direct parents toward evidence-based or plausible treatments. Section Four and Five addresses special topics that are relevant to the PCP’s or pediatrician’s long-term relationship with families, including chapters on anxiety, parents, challenging behaviors and common scenarios that occur across childhood for those who have ASD. Later chapters delve more deeply into providing informed, sensitive care for patients with intersecting identities, and discusses how gender identity and cultural perspective and attitudes can impact the pediatric patient with ASD. Engaging, and written in a conversational style, Diagnosing and Caring for the Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder will be an ideal resource for the pediatrician, primary care provider, and all healthcare providers working with children with ASD,providing concrete, step-by-step methods that readers can incorporate into their own practice.

Wonderful book and a summation of a Master’s Career.
As the forward by Dr. Lewis Leavitt indicates, this is a volume that should be in the pocket of all primary care providers that deal with children on the autism spectrum. It presents practical advice in an accessible matter on how to optimize care for individuals on the spectrum and for the families who live with autism spectrum disorder as a fact of their day to day existence. This volume is based on a 30 year career of care in one of America’s foremost centers for care and management of affected children

I thought she would be interested in the advice as well as the resources listed.This book read just as though I was chatting with the author. So pleasant, understandable for me without a medical background.The anecdotes are obviously heartfelt. It’s a marvelous resource. Felt like I was listening to a dear friend talk instead of a clinician.
