- Title
Two terms--one meaning: the conundrum of contemporary nomenclature in autism.
- Authors
Cashin, Andrew; Sci, Dip App
- Abstract
Autism as a diagnostic construct in the last decade has undergone a process of rapid evolution in the way that it is operationalized. A by-product of the important conceptual shift is that we have been left with two terms, autistic disorder and Asperger's disorder, that point to the same thing. The existence of two terms that cannot be clearly delineated results in confusion and an added element in an already anxiety-laden mix for all those trying to come to terms with the concept of autism.
