Autism and joint attention: Development, neuroscience, and clinical fundamentals


"From a preeminent researcher, [Autism and joint attention] looks at the key role of joint attention in both typical and atypical development. Peter C. Mundy shows that no other symptom dimension is more strongly linked to early identification and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
