Autism reviews what is known about adults with autism in terms of their social functioning and their educational and occupational status. Focusing mainly on the problems experienced by people with autism - and those working with and caring for them - the book offers practical ways of dealing with such difficulties. Each chapter makes use of clinical case material to illustrate the kinds of problems faced and ways in which they may be overcome.
In addition, first-hand accounts from people with autism on their experiences as adults are included. Links with psychiatric illness in later life are also explored.
. Autism aims to inform professionals and carers of what can be achieved by people with autism in adult life and how to cope with their difficulties, and to help those living with autism to achieve greater fulfillment of their potential.

This book presents a clear and in-depth account of abnormal psychology. It focuses on both clinical descriptions, using illustrative case studies at the beginning of each section, and on the implications of the major theoretical perspectives and relevant empirical evidence for clinical treatment. It provides a very readable and up-to-date review of topics including childhood behaviour disorders, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders and models of abnormal behaviour. Alan Carr illustrates a scientific approach to the understanding of these aspects of abnormal psychology. Both the content and style of this book will help students understand a complex area of psychology.
