Diagnosis and Definition

Most of the chapters in this book take for granted the definition of infantile autism and the criteria to be used in its diagnosis. That is right and proper, but the questions of definition and diagnosis have given rise to such controversy over the years that it is necessary to set the scene for what follows by some discussion of the issues involved.
