Publisher’s description

The Politics of Autism is a forthright appraisal of controversies behind reports of rising autism prevalence and methods of its diagnosis, the need for a sea change in autism education, the anti-vaccine movement and unproven homeopathies, and of autism research priorities. It provides guidelines for policy changes, and changes to clinical practice, with the goal of improving the lives of individuals and their families living with autism.
