This book attempts to go some way towards bridging the gap between theoretical understanding of autism and understanding it in the practice of daily life. The cause of autism is physical, biological and organic and people with autism require specialised education and support matched to their particular difficulties.

Theo Peeters is a Belgian neurolinguist who specialises in autism spectrum disorders. He is one of the world's leading authorities in the field and his many books, training activities and stimulating.

Lars Christopher Gillberg, who has sometimes published as Gillberg and Gillberg with his wife Carina Gillberg, is a professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at Gothenburg University in Gothenburg, Sweden, and an honorary professor at the Institute of Child Health, University College London.
