Summary:
"What is the connection between
autism
and
addiction
? Why are individuals with
autism
more likely to develop a substance
use
disorder than the general population? Until recently, substance
use
disorder (SUD) was considered rare among those with
autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). This book brings together current research and personal accounts from individuals with
autism
and their supports. It explores why
addiction
is more common among individuals with ASD and investigates how
addiction
and
autism
affect one another. The authors also provide strategies for supporting people with both ASD and SUD."--Publisher description.
