Throughout the book, authors demonstrate why a nuanced understanding of autobiographical and eyewitness memory is required when assessing individuals with ASD, given the developmental, social, and cognitive deficits at play. Authors review current legal services and structures, and explore ideas on whether and how modifications can be made to meet the needs of \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e individuals who seek and deserve justice, including individuals with ASD.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Handbook of Memory, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to spark debate within the mental health and legal communities, while advancing knowledge on the role of key clinical features of ASD in autobiographical and eyewitness memory. The book is distinct in its exploration of ways in which the legal system, with its formal yet inherently social infrastructure and regulated due process demands, should offer services to those with ASD. Of note, authors question if current policies and practices, such as reliance on interviewing protocols standardized for typically developing individuals, are adequate. The book is divided into three sections with the first providing a discussion of theoretical viewpoints on how memory functions in those with and without ASD, and providing a specialized consideration of developmental issues. A second section reviews empirical evidence, followed by a third and final section addressing legal and clinical considerations, including techniques for interviewing individuals with ASD.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe first book offering an expert, science-based review of autobiographical and eyewitness memory research on those with ASD and the associated legal challenges\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides thought-provoking, informative, often debated observations on memory in ASD from an international team of experts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers summaries of what is known about memory abilities in those with ASD as well as what is left unknown that future researchers will need to address and that legal professionals should consider.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA book that does much to advance the research frontier in the study of memory in ASD and application to the legal system, \u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Handbook of Memory, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the Law \u003c\/i\u003eis important reading for academic researchers, clinicians, judges, jurors, law enforcement officials, and public policy makers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonni L.
