<br/><br/> "Classic autism is a devastating neurological disorder. Though its causes are unclear, it has a strong genetic component and is marked by rapid brain growth during early childhood. Many sufferers are mentally retarded and require lifelong institutional care. But autism has many other faces. The condition, as experts now conceive it, is like high blood pressure--a 'spectrum disorder' in which affected people differ from the rest of us only by degrees." (NEWSWEEK) This article examines how gender differences relate to autism.
