This variability presents challenges for developmental and neurobiological models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur understanding of the autism spectrum disorders is improved by studying children at various points in development, including infants, and by using a careful neuropsychological approach. This approach is emphasised here in studies that examine characteristics of infants later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, neuropsychological test performance of children, and developmental information obtained from detailed, standardised parent interviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the pervasive nature of the autism spectrum disorders, attention difficulties are commonly observed. Studies that address specific aspects of attention are included, with an emphasis on how attention difficulties may help to explain the early symptoms and the characteristic social deficits in these disorders. Using a range of approaches has helped us to learn more about how these disorders affect a wide range of skills throughout the course of development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is hoped that the findings from the studies in this special issue will assist efforts aimed at improving diagnostic characterisation, as well as delineating targets for behavioural and educational interventions, in children with \u003cem\u003eautism spectrum disorders\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605068988652,"sku":"9781138883185","price":132.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138883185-autism-spectrum-disorders.jpg?v=1778122636"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-special-issues-of-child-neuropsychology.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
