Beschreibung:
Bryna Siegel, PhD, is a developmental psychologist, Founder and Executive Director of the Autism Center of Northern California, and a Professor Emeritus of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco.
The Politics of Autism explores controversies in autism epidemiology, problems in effective autism education, motivators of the alternative medicine and anti-vaccine movement in autism, and argues for the re-examination of autism research priorities from basic science to clinical studies aimed at improving lives of individuals and their families living with autism. By exposing the sub rosa truths about autism that are often impolitic or seemingly too sensitive todiscuss, each chapter focuses both on the controversies themselves, and how these controversies came to be. In addition, readers will find a chapter-by-chapter bibliography with URLs to many engaging references posted on the author's website. References include popular media/internetresources.
