This is a great resource that comprehensively covers emotional and behavioral issues; communication, language and sensory processing disorders; criminal involvement; even issues around sexuality. This is exactly what I need as a school social worker who encounters autism in my student population. The material is clear, practical and appropriate for work with K-12 age clients. I highly recommend this for any professional who works with children with autism spectrum disorders.
