Book excerpt: Autism is a puzzling disorder which to date has not been discussed in sufficient detail in most adapted physical education texts. This new book shows the need for additional information. It describes autism and offers suggestions on assessment and programming for students with autism in adapted physical education/regular physical education classes. It is important for physical educators and other teachers to work together to provide the student with autism with the best possible support. No one discipline can program in isolations. Interdisciplinary approaches increase the flow of ideas and keep morale up, while maximizing the students' level of learning.
