Status Updates From Kids These Days: Understand...

Some parts are interesting and may use a line or two for an upcoming assignment paper, use for a reference on autism.

Scholarly material so far.

"Sometimes, change can be stimulated using simple, well-known remedies such as focusing on improving diet, sleep, social interaction and exercise". This is exactly what therapists do, and as therapists themselves it should not be something they keep ignoring. Perhaps it's not in bad faith, but this insistence on presenting "well-known remedies" as opposed to "therapeutic interventions" is a disservice to the book.

"Mental health professionals have looked at humans from the neck up and catalogued what is wrong with them in books like the DSM". This insidious tendency to refer to MHP, rather than differentiating between what psychiatrists (doctors who specialise in psychiatry) and therapists (experts in human behaviour who specialise in intervention) do, is getting on my nerves. Therapists DO NOT DIAGNOSE OR MEDICATE ANYONE.
