The consensus was that much of the research on autism is highly stigmatizing. Categorizing parents of autistic children as part of a broader autism phenotype (or BAP) doesn't promote any genuinely deeper insight into the nature of the brain disorder. Clearly there is a spectrum of severity. This spectrum may even include people with anti-social personality, but research into this disorder more and more implicates head trauma, prenatal exposure to alcohol and drugs, or encephalitic illnesses. The focus needs to be maintained on factors that impair the brain. |
