"This is a concise clinical reference on the state of the art of diagnosing and treating comorbidities in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ... The audience is clinicians, specifically those who would be diagnosing and treating people with ASD. ... helpful to psychiatrists and nurse practitioners who would be overseeing the treatment of individuals with ASD, therapists who are tasked with choosing nonpharmacological treatments for these individuals, and anyone involved in doing diagnostic assessments for patients with ASD."
