• Cognitive theories of autism (2007, background): “For example, autism may come to be thought of as a neurodevelopmental condition, rather than a neurodevelopmental disorder, as ‘pure’ autism becomes the norm (see Baron-Cohen, 2000 and Gernsbacher, Dawson, & Mottron, 2006 for debates).”
• Which terms should be used to describe autism? Perspectives from the UK autism community (2016, background): “Some researchers (e.g. Baron-Cohen, 2000) also acknowledge the potentially disparaging nature of the term disorder and have called for the term to be replaced with the putatively lessnegative term, ‘condition’.”
• Inclusive/exclusive? Contradictory perspectives on autism and inclusion: the case for an integrative position (2011, background): “It has also been suggested that the full range of what are currently referred to as ‘autism spectrum disorders’ might be re-categorised as neurological differences, rather than disorders or impairments, associated with a unique profile of strengths as well as challenges (Baron-Cohen 2000).”
