In the first of six chapters, a US researcher poses the possibility that biologically distinct disorders are being grouped as "autism spectrum disorder." International contributors also discuss models of abnormal serotonin levels in brain development and abnormal amino acid metabolism, a meta-analysis of genes from patients studied by the Autism Genome Project Consortium, and abnormal time perception and language development. The most unusual approach employs a snail model to shed light on the effects of maternal genotype on alternative phenotypes in humans. The editors' credentials are not stated.
