W h e n D o w n syndrome and autism intersect: DSASD for parents and professionals By Margaret Froehlke Summary: "When Down Syndrome and Autism Intersect offers a thorough examination of the unique profile of a Down Syndromeautism spectrum disorder (DS-ASD) diagnosis and best practices for screening, treatment, and caretaking through the lifespan. This one-stop resource, the first of its kind, will greatly benefit families whose child is already diagnosed, and also those who suspect something more than Down syndrome. Professionals, too, will find information on how to distinguish DS-ASD from a diagnosis of just Down syndrome, and guidance on providing services for children and adults. The editors and chapter authors are seasoned parents, advocates, doctors, dentists, psychologists, behaviour analysts, nurses, educators, and financial planners [who] share their experiences and expertise."
