The author describes a previously healthy man who contracted herpes encephalitis at the age of 31 years, and over the following months developed all the symptoms considered diagnostic of autism. This case report casts doubt on the notion of autism as an exclusively developmental disorder. It is suggested that temporal lobe damage may cause autism in some cases.
作者描述了一名此前健康的男性，他在31岁时感染了疱疹性脑炎，并在随后的几个月里出现了所有被认为是自闭症诊断依据的症状。该病例报告对自闭症是一种单纯的发育障碍这一观点提出了质疑。有人认为，在某些情况下，颞叶损伤可能会导致自闭症。
