Children with Autism: A Developmental PerspectiveAttempting to make sense of the many features of autism at every level of intellectual functioning across the life span, psychology experts Marian Sigman and Lisa Capps weave together clinical vignettes, research findings, methodological considerations, and historical accounts. The result is a compelling, comprehensive view of the disorder, as true to human experience as it is to scientific observation. |
