Autism rates continue to rise. The latest CDC reports estimate that 1 in 88 US children and teens has been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It means that every pediatric care provider will confront autism-related challenges more often. The newly updated, extensively revised Autism: Caring for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Resource Toolkit for Clinicians, 2nd Edition, has been developed to assist clinicians in the recognition, diagnosis, and management of children with ASDs across the life span. The first revision of this popular resource in 5 years, it delivers a rich array of proven problem-solvers on a single, value-priced CD-ROM. All content has been extensively reviewed by AAP committees, councils, and sections, and parents of children and youth with ASDs.
