So, basicaly, it is a very complex procedure to diagnose autism. I wonder then if the apparant rise in the condition is really a rise or whether the diagnosis has become easier? Or, heaven forbid, some people are claiming autistic spectrum disorders, particularly adults with aspergers syndrome, becuase they have self disgnosed on the internet!

Whatever it happens to be it can only be a good thing that the symptoms are being spotted, particularly in children, and then they can be treated accordingly.
