Experts estimate that about 3 percent of eight-year-olds in the United States are autistic--and diagnosis rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are rising as increased public awareness, better screening tools, and expanded diagnostic criteria become available. But even though the disorder is becoming more prevalent and better recognized, ASD is still often misunderstood. Many people believe ASD includes only a few specific symptoms, but research shows that it presents in a wide spectrum of ways.

So, what symptoms actually fall on that spectrum? Beyond Social Stigma examines the past, present, and future of autism research to explain what the disorder is, its symptoms and potential causes, how it's diagnosed, what treatments are available, and more. Dive into this timely guide to learn all about ASD and gain resources for understanding it, supporting your loved ones, and even living with it yourself.
