| Abstract | Although neurological anomalies seem to be on the rise, this author wonders if the disorder known as autism is truly a genuine epidemic. Marcum explains why a better way of labelling might be more helpful. He contends that autism is not a "disease," but rather a syndrome--a collection of symptoms. To label all brain disorders or developmental conditions as autism does not get to the root of the syndrome--the underlying diseases or disorders that are causing these symptoms. Diagnosis of these separate and distinct diseases or disorders would allow for more effective treatment. (ERIC). |
