The view of autism presented here is that it is a syndrome of behaviors
that can have many different causes, but the lack of social awareness
and language disorder are distinctive. These distinctive features of
autism suggest impairment of specific systems or regions of the brain.
The disorder is not one in which all areas of the brain are involved.
So-called soft signs of neurological function are often cited, but autistic
children look normal and movement and sensory reception appear only
minimally affected if at all.
