"Autism Spectrum Disorder: Profile, Heterogeneity, Neurobiology and Intervention" ed. by Michael Fitzgerald

This book examines monocyte cytokine profiles and catecholamines in Autism spectrum disorder, genetic studies of autism, treatments, and controversial issues.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex condition that has extreme heterogeneity, which makes it extremely challenging from a diagnostic and etiological point of view. To add to the complexity, ASD typically has co-morbidity and overlap with other conditions outlined in this book, including epilepsy, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and others.
