x, 342 pages : 24 cm, \"This collection of research on autism spectrum disorders investigates a range of current thinking - from functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies to naturalistic intervention. It features contributions from scientific teams at the forefront of contemporary research on autism. These experts have concluded that an interdisciplinary approach is not only necessary to the understanding of this complex developmental disorder but is also an essential link in defining key issues found in other disciplines.
