This reads like a professional scientific journal. Very complex language and not for the casual reader. Also it was written a while ago and is slightly out of date. Nevertheless, it contains a great deal of excellent data-based information on the causes and manifestations of autism. The article on adults with high-funtioning autism is particularly good.
