自閉症100問。Campion E. Quinn。史錫蓉譯。
這不是一本探討自閉症的科普書,而是一本自閉兒父母的實務指南。包括:自閉症基本知識、自閉症的診斷、自閉症的風險、自閉症的治療和處遇、自閉症的藥物治療、其他自閉症的治療法、各州和聯邦政府的援助方案、你百年之後孩子的照養問題、自閉症兒童的教育、與自閉症患者同住、壓力等十二個部分,共一百個問答。
書中範圍廣泛的資料,體現了作者身為自閉兒父親的奮鬥積累,他的精神就像羅倫佐的父母一樣,令人感佩。雖然書裡的實務背景是美國,但自閉兒父母不僅要面對自閉症本身,同時還要面對國家法律、福利制度的挑戰是相同的。例如,如何取得成年子女的監護權?如何把財產留給孩子,但又不會使他失去社會補助的權益等等。
在自閉症的治療方法上,作者主要推薦「應用行為分析法」,但也認為對各種療法都要保持合理懷疑的態度。由於並無絕對有效的療法,父母的徬徨歧路是必然的。因此,這是一項需要努力不懈的工作。除了必要的指南外,書中主要的態度是:「如果認為會對孩子有利,即使赤著腳爬上高山,父母也會去做。但要規劃出一個行動計劃,並且堅持下去,就需要一番真正的訓練。……一種獲得科學數據支持的治療法(例如應用行為分析法),費用並不便宜,所以再去找其他未獲證實有效的新療法,並不是高明的點子。」
