{"product_id":"rethinking-autism-lynn-waterhouse-9780124159617","title":"Rethinking Autism: Variation and Complexity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe media, scientific researchers, and the \u003ci\u003eDiagnostic and Statistical Manual\u003c\/i\u003e all refer to \"autism\" as if it were a single disorder or a single disorder over a spectrum. However, autism is unlike any single disorder in a variety of ways. No single brain deficit is found to cause it, no single drug is found to affect it, and no single cause or cure has been found despite tremendous research efforts to find same. \u003ci\u003eRethinking Autism\u003c\/i\u003e reviews the scientific research on causes, symptomology, course, and treatment done to date...and draws the potentially shocking conclusion that \"autism\" does not exist as a single disorder. The conglomeration of symptoms exists, but like fever, those symptoms aren't a disease in themselves, but rather a result of some other cause(s). Only by ceasing to think of autism as a single disorder can we ever advance research to more accurately parse why these symptoms occur and what the different and varied causes may be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Waterhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0124159613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780124159617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Lynn Waterhouse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112831463679,"sku":"9780124159617","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d5867df-77e6-452f-a578-63e75530512c.jpg?v=1769611233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-autism-lynn-waterhouse-9780124159617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
