	Autism Fact Sheet: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
		Autism (sometimes called “classical autism”) is the most common condition in a group of developmental disorders known as the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
		Autism is characterized by impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities and interests.
		Autism varies widely in its severity and symptoms and may go unrecognized, especially in mildly affected children or when it is masked by more debilitating handicaps.

	Family Village / Autism
		The Autism Research Institute is primarily devoted to conducting research, and to disseminating the results of research, on methods of preventing, diagnosing and treating autism and other severe behavioral disorders of childhood.
		The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) is a non-profit organization formed and led by parents and grandparents of children and adults with autism.
		The founders of the National Alliance for Autism Research hoped that this organization would be exactly what its name suggests-- a nationwide alliance of families, researchers and others concerned with autism united in their efforts to fund and accelerate autism research.

	AUTISM RESEARCH INSTITUTE
		Autism is a syndrome characterized by impairments in social relatedness, language and communication, a need for routine and sameness, abnormal movements, and sensory dysfunction.
		Since traditionally autism has been characterized and studied by researchers primarily in psychiatric terms, providing case studies illustrating the psychiatric aspects of ASD and of mercurialism are necessary in establishing the similarities of the two disorders on this critical domain.
		Autism is associated with difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep; hyperactivity and other ADHD traits; and self injurious behavior such as head banging, even in the absence of mental retardation.

		Since RTI is deeply involved in social and economic institution building claimed to be intended for the good of the local community, some people see a conflict of interest in RTI's close links with corporations, whose primary aim is making profits and are operated on behalf of shareholders, not the public at large.

	AUTISM RESEARCH INSTITUTE
		Autism has been conceived primarily as a psychiatric condition; and two of its three diagnostic criteria are based upon the observable traits of (a) impairments in sociality, most commonly social withdrawal or aloofness, and (b) a variety of perseverative or stereotypic behaviors and the need for sameness, which strongly resemble obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
		Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder which has been characterized as "a disorder of neuronal organization, that is, the development of the dentritic tree, synaptogenesis, and the development of the complex connectivity within and between brain regions" (54).
		In studies conducted prior to 1970, autism prevalence was estimated, at 1 in 2000; in studies from 1970 to 1990 it averaged 1 in 1000 (124).

		However, despite the remarkably consistent findings in the research on the use of vitamin B6 in the treatment of autism, and despite its being immeasurably safer than any of the drugs used for autistic children, there are at present very few practitioners who use it or advocate its use in the treatment of autism.
		Research on the use of vitamin B6 with autistic children began in the 1960s.
		The French researchers, although skeptical that anything as innocuous as a vitamin could influence a disorder as profound as autism, became believers after their first, reluctantly undertaken, experiment on 44 hospitalized children.
