Abstract
This volume in the Plenum series, Current Issues in Autism, addresses the manifestations and treatment of autism and related disorders of communication and behavior in infants, toddlers, and preschool children with autism. As such, it has much in common with previous volumes while reflecting changes both in our understanding of autism and in society that make a focus on young children particularly compelling.
