Each contributor brings expertise from a different field, providing a balanced view of the whole spectrum of study of this disorder. It covers four main areas: * Twin and family studies indicate that the heritability of the underlying liability to autism exceeds 90% and point to a multifactorial causation, involving a relatively small number of susceptibility genes. The book discusses this issue in detail, along with the problem of why sNovartis Foundation symposium ;251.AutismCongressesAutism in childrenCongressesNeurophysiologyCongressesElectronic books.AutismAutism in childrenNeurophysiology616.85882618.92/8982Bock Gregory322650Goode Jamie283336MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143227003321Autism2068282UNINA
