And as our clinical understanding of this spectrum of disorders has grown, so has recognition of the connections between anxiety disorders and ASD-a welcome development, but also a source of confusion for many in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Autism and Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e brings together leading experts to explain this comorbidity, the diagnostic similarities and differences between the two disorders and the extent to which treatment for each can be coordinated for optimum results. Focusing on repetitive behaviors, social difficulties and fears as core components of anxiety disorders as well as ASD, contributors discuss specific symptoms in depth to aid in diagnosis. Assessment and treatment issues relevant to the autism-anxiety connection are considered in clinical and school contexts. And an especially timely conclusion details how key changes in the \u003ci\u003eDSM-5 \u003c\/i\u003eaffect the diagnosis and conceptualization of each disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey topics addressed in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook \u003c\/i\u003einclude: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhenotypic variability in ASD: clinical considerations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtiologic factors and transdiagnostic processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial worries and difficulties: autism and\/or social anxiety disorder?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplementing group CBT interventions for youth with ASD and anxiety in clinical practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutism and anxiety in school settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eDSM\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003ci\u003e5\u003c\/i\u003e and autism spectrum disorder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Autism and Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians\/professionals and graduate students in child and school psychology, psychiatry, social work, education, clinical counseling and behavioral therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword; \u003ci\u003eSimon Baron-Cohen\u003c\/i\u003e.- Preface; \u003ci\u003eThompson E.
