“Exceptionally timely given the recent focus on the importance of early identification of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs)….Provides a comprehensive discussion of what is known about the development of ASDs in early infancy. What may be more striking, however, is the way the book highlights what is not known about this stage in the development of children with ASD….In a clear and concise manner, this book identifies the problem of ASD in infancy and provides measured discussions of key debates before challenging the reader with future research that will allow more about this key developmental stage to be properly understood.” ― Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders Published On: 2010-05-21
