Sommario/riassunto

This book is a practical account of how people who attract autism labels can come to behave in ways that give rise to serious concerns in



other people and, sometimes, themselves. The authors identify the range of needs that may be expressed through behaviours that cause concern and provide strategies for addressing both needs and behaviours.
