Product Description

This practical companion guide to Is This Autism? A Guide for Clinicians and Everyone Else helps clinicians confidently assess autism in clients of all ages. As understanding of autism continues to evolve, many professionals struggle to apply current knowledge within real-world diagnostic settings. This book bridges that gap by offering clear, evidence-informed guidance for accurate and inclusive autism assessment.

The guide covers modern assessment approaches, including clinical interviews, rating scales, self-report tools, social cognition tests, and behavioral observations. It also addresses important topics such as cultural considerations, common diagnostic errors, and effective communication with clients throughout the assessment process.

Written with a neurodiversity-affirmative perspective, this book is especially valuable for identifying autistic individuals who have previously been overlooked or misdiagnosed. Designed to be highly practical and accessible, it is an essential resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and other healthcare professionals seeking to improve autism identification and support.
