A Guide for Clinicians and Everyone Else shows clinicians how to assess for the possibility of autism in clients of all ages.

As a result, countless unidentified autistic people do not have reasonable access to proper identification or support. This book describes current assessment methods, including interviewing, rating scales, self-report measures, social cognition tests, and behavioral observations. It also provides guidance regarding cultural considerations, common mistakes, and how to communicate with and support clients through the diagnostic process. This very practical clinical guide provides a clear and neurodiversity-affirmative approach to autism assessment, particularly for autistic individuals who have previously been missed. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals who want to learn how to identify autism in their clients"-- Provided by publisher.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
