The media, scientific researchers, and the "Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual" all refer to "autism" as if it were a single
disorder or a single disorder over a spectrum. However, autism is
unlike any single disorder in a variety of ways. No single brain
deficit is found to cause it, no single drug is found to affect it,
and no single cause or cure has been found despite tremendous
research efforts to find same. "Rethinking Autism" reviews the
scientific research on causes, symptomology, course, and treatment
done to date and draws the potentially shocking conclusion that
"autism" does not exist as a single disorder. The conglomeration of
symptoms exists, but like fever, those symptoms aren t a disease in
themselves, but rather a result of some other cause(s). Only by
ceasing to think of autism as a single disorder can we ever advance
research to more accurately parse why these symptoms occur and what
the different and varied causes may be.
