Найти книгу: "An A-Z of Genetic Factors in Autism"

Our understanding of the biological bases to the autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) is advancing rapidly. Over 80 genetic conditions have now been reported in people who have also been diagnosed with ASDs. Many of these conditions have specific implications for the presenting phenotype and for treatment, management, and intervention. If the basis to the presenting behavioural phenotype is not identified, this can result in a sub-optimal level of care, complications, or even permanent damage. Kenneth J. Aitken shows that the notion of a single condition known as 'autism' is no longer tenable, and challenges current trends in the diagnosis and management of these behaviours as a homogenous group by drawing on recent research into brain function, genetics, epidemiology and neurology. This volume explains the biology and genetics of ASD, and provides clinicians and researchers with a comprehensive summary of each genetic factor including the research that links it to ASD, diagnosis and treatment issues, and related animal models, as well as detailing relevant professional organisations and avenues for further research. An A-Z of Genetic Factors in Autism is an essential resource for a wide range of researchers, clinical professionals and students interested in autism spectrum disorders, including clinical and educational psychologists, dieticians, psychiatrists, and neurologists.

"Sonal „autism” on ka praegusel ajal paljude inimeste jaoks kohutav tahendus: silme ette tulevad konetud, stereotuupidega, karjuvad, kontaktivoimetud lapsed, ning enamik inimesi ei motle selle peale, milline saab olema nende laste tulevik. Samuti ei tea me veel siiani piisavalt pohjalikult autismispektri hairete pohjuste kohta.Selle raamatu autor Temple Grandin on ise autistlik inimene, kes on oma norkusi ja tugevusi tundma oppinud, nii et ta on elus hasti hakkama saanud: leidnud too, lopetanud ulikooli, saanud teadlaseks, ning ta on uurinud kogu elu autismi olemust ja pohjusi.Ta jagab selles raamatus soovitusi, kuidas keskenduda autismispektri hairetega laste tugevustele, kuidas toetada nende arengut, haridusteed ja kuidas leida neile toovoimalusi. Tema kogemuste kirjeldused ja mitmekesised soovitused on vaga vaartuslikud koikidele autistlike laste vanematele, aga ka koigile spetsialistidele, kes tootavad nende lastega. Arvestades koiki neid selle raamatu teemakasitlusi, saaks ka meie haridussusteem pakkuda autismispektri hairega lastele just neile sobivaimat oppimisvoimalust.Autorite nouanded selle kohta, kuidas aidata autistlikel lastel elus toime tulla, on sedavord elulised ja realistlikud, et need voiks juhendmaterjalina kaasa anda koikidele vanematele, kui nende laps saab autismispektri hairete diagnoosi.Mida rohkem me saame teada autistliku aju eriparadest ja sellest, kuidas kaasaegseid uuringuid ara kasutada, seda paremini suudame me leida nendele lastele paremaid voimalusi toimetulekuks. Temple Grandin on vaga hea eeskuju koikidele autismispektri hairega inimestele – tema elukaik naitab, mida on voimalik saavutada suure too ja realistliku lahenemisega. Me koik ju soovime autismispektri hairega lastele just samalaadset tulevikku – iseseisvat toimetulekut ja taisvaartuslikku elu – ning see raamat aitab meil selle poole puuelda.
