This special section on autism etiology began with the paper submitted to The Analysis of Verbal Behavior by Drash and Tutor, who propose that autism is a contingency-shaped disorder of verbal behavior. The five papers that follow the Drash and Tutor paper provide reactions to their analysis by several behavior analysts working in the autism field. Only one of the five (Malott) is fully supportive of Drash and Tudor's analysis of autism as a completely contingency-shaped disorder. The other four authors recognize the importance of environmental variables in the development and maintenance of autistic behavior, but caution against the neglect of genetic and other variables such as environmental intrusion, and insist that a complete behavioral theory of the etiology of autism must involve all three variables. The series ends with Drash and Tutor's response to the five papers.
这个关于自闭症病因的特别板块始于德拉什（Drash）和图特（Tutor）提交给《言语行为分析》的论文，他们提出自闭症是一种由偶然因素塑造的言语行为障碍。在德拉什和图特的论文之后的五篇论文，是几位在自闭症领域工作的行为分析师对他们分析的回应。五篇论文中只有一篇（马洛特[Malott]）完全支持德拉什和图德（Tudor）将自闭症分析为完全由偶然因素塑造的障碍这一观点。其他四位作者认识到环境变量在自闭症行为发展和维持中的重要性，但告诫不要忽视基因和其他变量，如环境干扰，并坚持认为自闭症病因的完整行为理论必须涉及所有这三个变量。该系列以德拉什和图特对这五篇论文的回应结束。
