New book by the AAP about Autism Spectrum Disorders

     Many of our patients have autism spectrum disorders. I know many families with a child with these conditions struggle to find good, helpful, scientifically sound information. The American Academy of Pediatrics has a new book, Autism Spectrum Disorders: What Every Parent Needs to Know. It is edited by Drs. Rosenblatt, MD, and Carbone, MD. Both of these doctors are considered experts in autism and one is a parent of a child with autism.
     So if you are looking for more information about autism spectrum disorders, I highly recommend this book. It is available at www.aap.org/bookstore and other retailers. Another excellent source for information and support is www.autismspeaks.org.
