Read the most advanced science of autism causes here. Bypass the commenterati and go direct to the science. Don't waste your time at the sites which pretend "no-one" knows what causes (or what sometimes cures) autism. This is a website relating to the unchallenged theory of autism, IQ and genius, Personality and Individual Differences 14:459-482 (1993) by Robin P Clarke (the antiinnatia theory). An update review paper is being prepared for publication. Meanwhile you can download the original 1993 publication (my reprint) here . (the journal site version is here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0191-8869(93)90316-U, but without added charts of social class and you may have to pay Elsevier $31.) I cannot put the update paper on a website in advance of it being accepted by a journal. But in the interim I can send you a draft copy by email if you email a request for it to rpclarke{att]autismcauses{dott]info . Comments here are not pre-moderated or re-editable so please choose your words with care. You can see some of the information being hidden from you by organisations such as the UK "National Autistic Society", "Research Autism", and Cambridge's "Autism Research Centre" at this link and this one. See this video of Polly Tommey explaining about the autism catastrophe (I don't share her ideas re mmr).

THIS IS NOT A BLOG! Please note that this website just happens to be free courtesy of blogger.com who like all the rest (as far as I can make out) give one no option except the "blog" format, that is pages/posts in reverse date order. I would prefer this site to be more like a work-in-progress encyclopedia but I haven't yet found anywhere where that is provided free and easy to edit and comment (as here). Please understand that any dates and orderings are of no significance here except insofar as I try to arrange the contents in more suitable order.
