Article Abstract

Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

This book is one you might give to a graduate student who is beginning a master’s or doctoral project on the neurobiology of autism. In a single volume, it reviews what one needs to know about current state-of-the-art theorizing and research in the field. I would also recommend the book to parents of persons with autism who are interested in reading a clearly written text on the latest neurobiological hypothesis on the subject.
