"Autism" by Peggy Parks provides a thorough exploration of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction, communication challenges, and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors. The book examines the wide spectrum of autism, noting that symptoms and severity can vary greatly among individuals. Parks delves into the history of autism, tracing its recognition and the evolving understanding of the disorder over time. She explains the current diagnostic criteria, which include persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction, as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. The book discusses potential causes and risk factors, such as genetic predisposition and environmental influences, while acknowledging that the exact causes of autism are still not fully understood.
