Despite great variation among children with this condition, certain symptoms are considered hallmarks of the disorder. Less understood is why these symptoms come together to construct autism. And as autism rates continue to rise, this information is ever more vital to accurate diagnosis and treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAutism and the Brain\u003c\/i\u003e offers answers by showing a new neuropsychology of the autistic spectrum, reviewing general brain organization, and relating specific regions and structures to specific clinical symptoms. The author identifies deficiencies in areas of the left-hemisphere associated with the self and identity as central to autism. From this primary damage, the brain further reorganizes to compensate, explaining the diverse behaviors among low- and high-functioning individuals as well as autistic savants. The result is a unique three-dimensional view of brain structure, function, and pathology, with in-depth focus on how the autistic brain:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Perceives the world.\u003cbr\u003e Understands and uses words.\u003cbr\u003e Perceives faces.\u003cbr\u003e Understands spatial relations and numbers.\u003cbr\u003e Understands feelings and registers emotions.\u003cbr\u003e Perceives the self as separate from others.\u003cbr\u003e Acts in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging readers to re-think their assumptions, \u003ci\u003eAutism and the Brain\u003c\/i\u003e is breakthrough reading for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students in fields as varied as child and adolescent psychiatry; clinical child, school, and developmental psychology; neuroscience\/neurobiology; special education and educational psychology; social work; communication disorders; and public health and policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489998934\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-4112-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149903696012,"sku":"9781489998934","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489998934.jpg?v=1779581006","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781489998934","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
