| Description: | Select Guide Rating This book explores the links between autism and substance abuse, providing information, awareness and analysis. It brings together current research, including studies linking the perseverative traits in autism to addiction, and personal accounts, like the statement of a self-declared 'Aspie' that daily drinking helped to stave off social anxiety. 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? |
