Many autistic children also experience epilepsy, visual impairment, and hearing disability, which are usually overly represented in this particular group of children.

This is about Autism, not Autistic Spectrum Disorder

Know what you are getting, if its ASD you are interested in, this isn't the book for you. That isnt clear until about chapter 4. But the early chapters should send alarm bells to anyone who knows even the smallest amount about ASD.
