Reflection on the future of autism research: the neurodiversity hypothesis - Réflexion sur l'avenir de la recherche sur l'autisme : l'hypothèse de la neurodiversité

Abstract: Since about a century, researchers and clinicians have tried to find a drug treatment, diagnostic rubrics and therapy to treat autism.
