The second edition of this book examines the numerous research and practice advances with regard to adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Expert contributors offer cogent reviews of complex issues, from education to employment, leisure activities to illegal behaviors, mental health issues to medical health concerns. The volume explores the latest findings in key areas, such as psychosocial and residential treatments, social skills programs, epidemiology, the impact of ASD on families. The book focuses on areas of research and practice that require improved models of assessment, current data, new interventions, and increased support services.

Key areas of coverage include:

  • Transition from high school to adulthood for adolescents and young adults with ASD.
  • Innovative programming to support college students with ASD.
  • Romantic relationships, sexuality and ASD.
  • Treatment of mental health comorbidities.
  • Assessment and treatment planning in adults with ASD.
  • The range of outcomes and challenges in middle and later life for individuals with autism.

The second edition of Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a must-have reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners in clinical child, school, and developmental psychology, psychiatry, social work, rehabilitation medicine/therapy, special education, and general practice/family medicine.
