Recognition of the autistic spectrum disorders is becoming more widespread amongst basic scientists, clinicians, and the general population. The term does not imply anything about pathology or aetiology, although it has proved to be a useful concept clinically. From Kanner's classical autism the concept has widened in scope to include milder and more subtle impairments. From a clinical perspective, there are many alternative diagnoses in an individual with autistic-like symptoms, and thorough investigation is necessary to exclude these.
在基础科学家、临床医生和普通大众中，对自闭症谱系障碍的认识正变得越来越普遍。这个术语并不意味着任何关于病理学或病因学的内容，尽管它在临床上已被证明是一个有用的概念。从坎纳的经典自闭症开始，这一概念的范围已经扩大，包括更轻微和更微妙的损害。从临床角度来看，有自闭症样症状的个体有许多其他诊断可能，因此有必要进行全面调查以排除这些情况。
