Autism Spectrum Disorders
T
his seminar will focus on autism spectrum disorders
from the first recorded case of early infantile autism
to the present theory of autism as a disorder of underconnectivity and over-connectivity. Beginning with the
work of Dr. Leo Kanner, we will trace different perspectives
on autism spectrum disorder. We will look at the early
thinking about autism as a disorder that was caused by
“refrigerator mothering” and the most recent perspectives
that have emerged from neuroscientific studies. The
importance of treating autism through child-caregiver
relationships will be stressed with videotaped illustrations
of multi-disciplinary therapy with young children. The
important components of therapy will be discussed so
that the audience can understand the importance of social
relationships as the “window” for intervention.
Workshop Objectives
Participants will learn:
1.The early history of autism beginning with Dr. Leo Kanner’s work
leading up to contemporary theory of autism spectrum disorders.
2.Autism as a disorder of complex information processing related to
neurological “underconnectivity.”
3. To identify the central characteristics of autism spectrum disorder and
the early signs of the disorder after 12-months chronological age.
4. To compare normal social development to atypical social development
as seen in autistic spectrum disorder.
5. To see the changes that have been made in DSM-5 relating to autism
spectrum disorder.
6.To learn about the components of treatment of children with
autism and their families and to see the importance of addressing
“relationships” in order to treat autism.
