  Abstract

Autism and Asperger’s syndrome are part of a range of conditions incorporated under the term autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs). This article will aim to define these conditions and explain the differences between them, clarify some of the myths about their aetiology and equip the reader with the specific knowledge to diagnose, refer and manage patients with ASDs as effectively as possible.
