Praise for Stress and Coping in Autism
"This impressive collection of authors who are dedicated, highly respected, veteran autism specialists, with actual hands-on experience, over several decades, makes this one of the most exciting publications about real-life-autism, ever. The contributions to this book by such knowledgeable individuals, shaped by hammer on the anvil of autism, have given us a fine book. It is a work of hope."
Ruth Christ Sullivan, PhD
Founder and Executive Director
of Autism Services Center
"Stress and Coping in Autism is an essential work that comes at a critical time to help guide and advance autism research, treatment, and education. This volume is the first comprehensive treatment of the role of stress and coping, challenges that arguably may be the primary determinants of quality of life in the experience of persons with autism and their families… a ‘must read’ for researchers, educators, clinicians, and family members alike who wish to better understand and support persons with autism."

"Stress and Coping in Autism brings together research and clinical studies of stress and explores the role that [stress] plays in causing many of the emotional, learning, and mental health problems that all too frequently affect individuals with autism. [It] contains contributions from research and clinical experts in the United States and Australia and as such should prove a very valuable asset for all clinicians and therapists working in the field."

"It is about time that the scientific community looks carefully at the impact of stress in chronic conditions such as autism, both for the autistic individual and for the family and caregivers! I fervently hope that the research, clinical, and personal observations and theoretical overviews in this very interesting book will stimulate more research in autism and other developmental disorders to find out how long-term stress affects the course of the disorder both psychologically and also biologically."
