This 44-page booklet, Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) was developed for families of children suspected of or already diagnosed with a condition on the autism spectrum. It provides introductory information about various types of ASDs; associated cognitive, behavioral, and health issues; management strategies; family and community supports; and special issues that emerge during adolescence and adulthood. It can also be a resource for parents who are concerned that their child might be demonstrating symptoms of autism, but are uncertain of what to look for.
