Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults: Improving Diagnosis and Quality of Life - Softcover
Synopsis
Autism is a childhood condition ... right? Not right. Children with autism grow into adults with autism. The great strides we have made in understanding childhood autistic behaviors and interventions have lagged dramatically behind the needs of aging autistics. What of the young adult trying to build relationships? What of the middle aged autistic adult who has been misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and lacks an effective treatment plan? What of the aging adult who is showing increasingly rigid autistic behaviors and is misdiagnosed as having frontotemporal dementia? Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults is a one-of-a-kind resource designed to improve the correct diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in adults. Filled with clinical stories that bring to life the concepts discussed, the book provides strategy-based interventions to address issues of personal and household management, medical care, communication, sensory processing symptoms, and emotional and behavioral regulation.

Review
James Runyon, Executive VP, Strategic Initiatives at Easterseals Central Illinois--Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults makes a significant contribution to understanding the challenges of adults with autism as they age. The case studies and illustrative scenarios highlight what is both shared and unique to each person with autism as they maneuver a "neurotypical" world. The author doesn't shy away from tough topics including mental health, addictions, and navigating a complex healthcare system. A "must read" for caregivers of children with autism as they assist in the transition into adulthood.
