Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La evidencia científica, esa expresión que parecía irrefutable, se ha revelado como una marca detrás de la cual no hay más que un mercado. En ese contexto, las investigaciones genéticas sobre el autismo tropiezan con la imposibilidad de encontrar una relación causal simple entre bases genéticas y fenómenos clínicos. Sus resultados llevan a conclusiones parciales sobre fenómenos dispersos. ¿Con qué legitimidad cuentan entonces los tratamientos que parten de esa supuesta evidencia? Este libro presenta, por un lado, un estudio riguroso sobre el estado actual de las investigaciones científicas serias en el campo del autismo. Y, por el otro, los beneficios que el recurso a la evidencia científica ha reportado a lo que se ha convenido denominar el mercado del autismo. Las promesas de tratamientos únicos, explicaciones causales o nuevos fármacos no se concretan y falsean las esperanzas de familias, escuelas y centros de atención. Debemos preguntarnos cuáles son los resultados de la evidencia en relación con los retos que el autismo nos plantea como sociedad.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La evaluación cognitiva proporciona información valiosa sobre la persona evaluada si se utilizan las estrategias y los instrumentos apropiados. La evaluación de los individuos con el trastorno del espectro del autismo (TEA) puede representar diversos retos. Muchos pueden obtener puntuaciones dentro del rango de discapacidad intelectual y presentar dificultades en el habla y lenguaje. El propósito de este estudio fue explorar cómo los psicólogos en Puerto Rico realizan las evaluaciones cognitivas a los niños o jóvenes con TEA. La muestra estuvo constituida por 25 psicólogos quienes habían evaluado a niños con este trastorno. Se realizó un análisis cualitativo de las entrevistas en torno al proceso de evaluación y se recopilaron recomendaciones para futuras evaluaciones. También, se realizó un análisis de la evidencia científica en Puerto Rico relacionada al tema. Los hallazgos principales confirman cómo la variabilidad en el funcionamiento de estos niños dificulta el proceso de evaluación y la necesidad de profesionales competentes. La evidencia científica es escasa, así que es necesario continuar realizando investigaciones en esta área.

Book excerpt: Las experiencias de los padres a partir de tratamientos que han funcionado para sus hijos con TEA son señales indicadoras que la ciencia aún no ha validado. De acuerdo con la clasificación actual, el Trastorno de Espectro Autista abarca toda una serie de dificultades neuro-evolutivas para las que no se han descubierto causas concluyentes, ni tratamientos probados. Parece un hecho establecido que el autismo no tiene cura, pero, mientras los diagnósticos aumentan, muchos especialistas proponen tratar esta condición trabajando sobre las causas potenciales con diferentes estrategias como dietas antiinflamatorias o tratamientos antiparasitarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta nueva edición de Autismo confirma que es una obra viva con capacidad de sumar actualizaciones y nuevos capítulos manteniendo su estilo. El libro aborda en profundidad, desde un enfoque interdisciplinario, el abanico de necesidades y opciones de intervención actualmente disponible para tratar los trastornos del espectro autista. La enorme expertise de los profesionales que han escrito los diferentes capítulos, sin duda su valor añadido, lo dota de un enfoque eminentemente práctico. Las propuestas presentadas, a su vez, están basadas en los estudios más relevantes sobre autismo y en los criterios científicos que definen una buena práctica. En Autismo se avanza sobre aspectos como la detección temprana, la planificación y el desarrollo de programas de intervención con personas de mayor o menor rendimiento cognitivo, el apoyo a las familias, la inclusión escolar, la comprensión de los procesos psicológicos y cognitivos que definen el comportamiento de las personas con TEA, los fármacos utilizados, las terapias alternativas (sin base científica demostrada), los apoyos naturales –como el voluntariado– y la importancia de la comprensión de sus bases genéticas para el desarrollo de nuevos tratamientos. A esto se suma la experiencia vivida durante un período que marcó a la humanidad: la pandemia del COVID-19, la cual puso a prueba la capacidad de profesionales y docentes para intervenir y acompañar a niños, familias y adultos con autismo durante el aislamiento social. El fruto de esa experiencia se incluye aquí en forma de protocolos de intervención a distancia en forma virtual, procedimientos que resultan vitales como alternativa para familias o personas con dificultades para acceder a los profesionales. También se ha completado el concepto de autismo a lo largo de la vida y el lugar de la sexualidad en estas personas. Autismo es de utilidad para profesionales de la salud y de la educación de todos los niveles y modalidades, así como para las familias y las personas del espectro, ya que, sin sacrificar su altísimo nivel académico, tiene un claro sentido práctico y un lenguaje accesible. Encontrarán aquí, entonces, una amplia variedad de temas abordados en profundidad, que van desde la infancia hasta la vida adulta, e información probada y confiable sobre las personas del espectro autista.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Usted y su esposa acaban de salir del consultorio del psiquiatra infantil. Todos dicen que el doctor es muy bueno. Junto con ustedes también vino Luis, su segundo hijo. El pediatra recomienda esta visita porque Luis es un niño “extraño”. A los 3 años todavía no habla y pasa todo el tiempo solo. Incluso en el jardín de niños no juega con sus compañeros y tiende a mantenerse aislado por lo que los maestros están preocupados. Ahora, el psiquiatra acaba de hacer el diagnóstico y los temores se confirman: “es un niño con Trastorno del Espectro Autista”. Muchos padres ya han tratado de todo. Otros están desesperados y no pueden ver perspectivas para el futuro; se repiten continuamente: “¿por qué yo?” Otros están luchando para entender y buscan información en internet o con algún amigo médico. No todo el mundo está dispuesto a aceptar la realidad pues es demasiado difícil. Es una peregrinación que llevará a visitar miles de especialistas, con la esperanza de encontrar a alguien que cambie el temido diagnóstico. Si usted está atravesando por esto, no se preocupe, estas reacciones son normales, pero este es sólo el comienzo de un largo viaje. Nuestro hijo con autismo intenta responder las múltiples preguntas que un padre se hace cuando su hijo ha recibido un diagnóstico de TEA. En la búsqueda de respuestas, el libro se basa en la experiencia adquirida del trabajo de casi 30 años y en el conocimiento acumulado de la comunidad científica internacional, más allá de prejuicios y estereotipos.

Book excerpt: Melanie and Seth Fowler are parents of a six-year-old boy who has autism. Melanie is not only a concerned parent, but is schooled in speech therapy, deaf education, and special education. When the Fowlers found out their son was on the autism spectrum, they were like so many other young parents out there—scared, angry, confused, helpless. They felt like they were on an island. While many books were given to them regarding autism, none was able to console the Fowlers in their time of grief and desperation. Immediately they realized they needed to write a book that deals with immediate steps when dealing with a child on the autism spectrum. Look at My Eyes is an insight not only into their lives but tells how to battle for insurance coverage, explains helpful, scientifically based therapies, and deals with quackery and harmful treatments. The Fowlers discuss talking with relatives about a child who is autistic, they provide helpful websites and in-home training exercises, and encourage readers to be strong in their faith and rest upon the Lord for strength, grace and mercy. Look at My Eyes has now been translated into Spanish. Both English and Spanish versions can be found at www.lookatmyeyes.com. The Fowlers live in Fort Worth, Texas, with their two children, William and Margaret and their new golden doodle, Charley Bear. For more information: [email protected]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic text--now updated with a new interpretive approach tothe WAIS?-III Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence, the classic text fromAlan Kaufman and Elizabeth Lichtenberger, has consistently providedthe most comprehensive source of information on cognitiveassessment of adults and adolescents. The newly updated ThirdEdition provides important enhancements and additions thathighlight the latest research and interpretive methods for theWAIS?-III. Augmenting the traditional "sequential" and "simultaneous"WAIS?-III interpretive methods, the authors present a new approachderived from Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory. This approachcombines normative assessment (performance relative to age peers)with ipsative assessment (performance relative to the person's ownmean level). Following Flanagan and Kaufman's work to develop asimilar CHC approach for the WISC?-IV, Kaufman and Lichtenbergerhave applied this system to the WAIS?-III profile of scores alongwith integrating recent WAIS?-III literature. Four appendices present the new method in depth. In addition to adetailed description, the authors provide a blank interpretiveworksheet to help examiners make the calculations and decisionsneeded for applying the additional steps of the new system, andnorms tables for the new WAIS?-III subtest combinations added inthis approach. Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence remains the premierresource for the field, covering not only the WAIS?-III but alsothe WJ III?, the KAIT, and several brief measures of intelligence,as well as laying out a relevant, up-to-date discussion of thediscipline. The new, theory-based interpretive approach for theWAIS?-III makes this a vital resource for practicing psychologists,as well as a comprehensive text for graduate students.

Book excerpt: There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important component of Division TEACCH's mandate from the Department of Psychiatry of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and the North Carolina State Legislature is to conduct research aimed toward improving the understanding of developmental disabilities such as autism and to train the professionals who will be needed to work with this challenging population. An important mechanism to help meet these goals is our annual conference on topics of special importance for the understanding and treatment of autism and related disorders. As with the preceding books in this series entitled Current Issues in Autism, this most recent volume is based on one of these conferences. The books are not, however, simply published proceedings of conference papers. Instead, cer tain conference participants were asked to develop chapters around their pres entations, and other national and intemational experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference but related to the conference theme were asked to contribute manuscripts as weil. These volumes are intended to provide the most current knowledge and professional practice available to us at this time.

It begins with a discussion of the "big picture," or the authors view on the importance of laying the foundation for communication training by systematically structuring the learning environment (be it in the home, community or school). This approach, The Pyramid Approach to Education, embraces the principals of broad-spectrum applied behavior analysis and emphasizes the development of functional communication skills, independent of communication modality. The Pyramid Approach is one of the few approaches that encourages creativity and innovation on the teacher's part through databased decision making.

Book excerpt: The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject of late-talking children. While many children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently handicapped children and then see them lumped into special classes and therapy groups where all the other children are clearly very different. Since he first became involved in this issue in the mid-90s, Sowell has joined with Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt University, who has conducted a much broader, more rigorous study of this phenomenon than the anecdotes reported in Late-Talking Children. Sowell can now identify a particular syndrome, a cluster of common symptoms and family characteristics, that differentiates these late-talking children from others; relate this syndrome to other syndromes; speculate about its causes; and describe how children with this syndrome are likely to develop.

Book excerpt: This book will help you navigate the bewildering and often contradictory flood of information about vaccines. There is substantial misinformation about vaccines on the Internet, particularly from those who reject all vaccines, but also from official sources, which are expected to be neutral and objective. Vaccines: Truth, Lies, and Controversy is based on the best available evidence, and Professor Peter S. Gøtzsche explains when and why we should not have confidence in the science and official recommendations. Some vaccines are so beneficial—and have saved millions of lives—that we should all get them; some are so poor that many healthcare professionals do not use them for themselves or their families; and some are in-between. We must evaluate carefully each vaccine, one by one, assessing the balance between its benefits and harms, just as we do for other drugs, and then form an opinion about whether we think the vaccine is worth getting or recommending to other people. Vaccines focuses on measles, influenza, COVID-19, and HPV, but discusses also childhood vaccination programs and whether mandatory vaccination can be justified. Raising critical questions to vaccines is essential because there are still many unresolved issues. For example, we know virtually nothing about what happens when we use many vaccines and what the long-term effects are on the immune system. Vaccines demystifies the controversial topic and helps the reader formulate their own opinion.
