La cultura humana siempre ha tenido una concepción de si misma basada en ideas preconcebidas acerca de lo que es neurotípico y de lo que no lo es. De como tratar aquello que le resulta ajeno y de decidir que es mejor y que no lo es para aquellas personas que por su diversidad, responde de forma atípica socialmente. En el interior de este libro, el lector encontrará una realidad muy diferente. De la mano de prestigiosos investigadores, profesionales y personas involucradas, viajará a lo largo y ancho de la cultura humana y descubrirá nuevos enfoques para atender, cuidar y tratar a aquellas personas que antaño fueron consideradas diferentes, inadaptadas y apartadas socialmente de forma injusta. Con los apoyos adecuados y el enfoque correcto, estas mismas personas pueden llevar una vida que consideramos típica y adaptada, aunque no sepan comunicarse socialmente o que sus comunicaciones no sean funcionales para la mayoría de las personas. En este estudio de las personas con alteraciones del neurodesarrollo, el lector conocerá a fondo técnicas y métodos para el correcto trato de sus pacientes, en el caso de ser un especialista de la salud, o de sus parientes más próximos. Tanto desde el punto de vista psicológico, como pedagógico, usted comprobará que el entrar en sintonía con las necesidades de la persona que tiene delante les llevará, a ambos, a recorrer un camino cuyo destino es la autosuficiencia, el autoconocimiento y la valía personal.

Recent advances in genetic methodology are providing important aetiological and developmental information to the growing literature on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and related conditions. Attention, Genes and ADHD is the first book to review and integrate both behaviour-genetic and molecular-genetic advances in this area. It brings together international researchers to show how modern techniques may be applied to the investigation of ADHD, and reviews current findings in the field of ADHD and related conditions. The book looks at the application of behaviour genetic approaches to twin studies, and reviews diagnostic to ADHD, the relationships between reading, spelling and ADHD, and family and genetic influences on speech and speech and language. Chapters go on to consider the overlaps between ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder and to explore the environmental and genetic influences among these disorders. The neurobiological and genetic relationship between ADHD and Tourette's Disorder is also examined. The book reviews recent advances in molecular genetics - in particular a discussion of Fragile X as a model for a single single gene effects on ADHD, and the application of genetic methods and approaches to the study of candidate genes. Finally, the implications for education and intervention are discussed, and current and future roles of gentic studies of ADHD are explored, as well as implications of the sequencing of the human genome for child psychiatry.

An important component of Division TEACCH's mandate from the Department of Psychiatry of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and the North Carolina State Legislature is to conduct research aimed toward improving the understanding of developmental disabilities such as autism and to train the professionals who will be needed to work with this challenging population. An important mechanism to help meet these goals is our annual conference on topics of special importance for the understanding and treatment of autism and related disorders. As with the preceding books in this series entitled Current Issues in Autism, this most recent volume is based on one of these conferences. The books are not, however, simply published proceedings of conference papers. Instead, cer tain conference participants were asked to develop chapters around their pres entations, and other national and intemational experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference but related to the conference theme were asked to contribute manuscripts as weil. These volumes are intended to provide the most current knowledge and professional practice available to us at this time.

All parent stories about raising a child with Down syndrome are special and unique, but in the hands of a good writer, they can have the power to reach, change, and resonate far beyond family and friends. And that is the case with My Heart Can't Even Believe It, by journalist, blogger, and NPR contributor Amy Silverman. Amy bravely looks at her life, before and after her daughter Sophie was born, and reflects on her transformation from "a spoiled, self-centered brat," who used words like retard and switched lines at the Safeway to avoid a bagger with special needs, into the mother of a kid with Down syndrome and all that her new identity entails. She describes her evolution as gradual, one built by processing her fears and facing questions both big and small about Sophie, Down syndrome, and her place in the world. Funny, touching, and honest, this wonderful book looks at a daughter and her power to change minds and fill hearts with love so deep.
