- What is autism?
- What are the signs of autism?
- Who is involved in my child's evaluation?
- What should I expect at the time of diagnosis?
- What are the goals of early intervention?
- How do I choose which treatments are right for my child?
In addition to Dr. Melmed's compassionate yet practical advice, this book offers:
- easy-to-read charts
- a glossary of autism terms
