Nursing research & theory

Most clinicians miss autism in adults-particularly women, culturally diverse populations, and those with sophisticated masking strategies. This groundbreaking training manual exposes the uncomfortable truth that Western-centric assessment models fail countless individuals while providing the most comprehensive, evidence-based framework available today.

Drawing from decades of cross-continental clinical expertise, Drs. Achuthan and Barker challenge everything you thought you knew about adult autism assessment. Their revolutionary approach combines 50 meticulously detailed chapters covering complex differential diagnosis, gender-specific presentations, and cultural adaptations that standard protocols ignore.

This isn't just another autism manual-it's a complete paradigm shift. You'll master sophisticated assessment techniques for masked presentations, navigate complex comorbidities, and identify autism others miss entirely. With extensive case examples, step-by-step protocols, and over 100 research citations, this training transforms diagnostic practice.

For psychiatrists, psychologists, and specialist teams ready to elevate their clinical expertise beyond conventional approaches, this manual provides the advanced skills to recognize autism's true diversity and deliver life-changing diagnoses to previously overlooked populations.

Stop missing what others can't see. Start diagnosing what others can't find.
