Kuenssberg, Renate; McKenzie, Karen; Jones, Jill – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Research continues to try and pinpoint the etiological role of particular genes and brain structure in autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), but despite a host of biological, genetic and neuropsychological research, the symptom profile of pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) are not yet linked to etiological theory. Debate continues around whether…
