An up-to-date journal on the results of scientific research on autism, which is full of innovative practical suggestions. Over the last few years, research has identified a number of clinical, habilitative and educational strategies aimed at improving the quality of life of autistic children and adults and facilitating their social integration. Alongside psychoeducational aspects, the journal also tackles medical and pharmacological aspects, mindful of the fact that the extreme complexity and variety of cases presenting amongst individuals with autism spectrum disorders require a multidisciplinary approach.
