First published in 2001. This is Volume 2 in a series on the science
of mental health and focuses on Autism. It begins with an overview
presentation of a case and a recent consensus description of
diagnostic instruments for autistic-spectrum disorders. This is
followed by recent epidemiologic data. Epidemiology has an enhanced
prominence in studies of autism because there is an unresolved
controversy about the incidence of new cases of autism. In some
surveys the incidence of autism appears to be increasing, and the
controversy is over whether this is a true observation or whether
greater diagnostic awareness is leading to the apparent increase. This
volume attempt to resolve the conflicting data as if autism is indeed
on the rise, there must be a new, significant environmental risk
factor, which has to be identified with a view to prevention.
