  Is autism disease, disorder or difference? What causes autism - genes or environment? Can biomedical treatments cure autism, and are they safe? An increased public awareness of autism has resulted in a trend of diagnoses, creating the impression of an 'epidemic'. This book questions the scientific basis of environmental explanations of autism.
