Summary: A world-leading authority on the topic of autistic spectrum disorders, Dr. Coplan draws his inspiration from his work with children and their families. Dr. Coplan debunks the myths and unchallenged assumptions about ASD that bedevil parents trying to do the best for their child- and offers them hope as well - through a rigorous review of the scientific data. At the same time, Dr. Coplan never loses sight of the child and his or her family, or his own experience as the sibling of an individual with special needs.
