There are no neurological tests for autism. There is no brain
physiology peculiar to autism, and, in fact, the brains of autistics
are no different than the brains of children who suffer from neglect
or ptsd. Check out the links page for the scientific studies I found
on this.

You will find, though, that even mentioning this fact will result in
rage and scorn and personal attacks by people who feel threatened by
any explanations for autism that might be construed as "blaming"
mothers.

This group was created as a safe haven for people who are interested
in exploring the causes of autism without getting intimidated.
Everybody is welcome to express and defend various viewpoints
though.

Anyway, I'm glad you joined and am glad you posted, and I am glad you
are peaceable. I'm especially interested if you have found scientific
studies about the etiology of autism.

Yours,
Larry
