In Tracing Autism, Des Fitzgerald offers an up-close account of the search for a neurological explanation of autism. As autism has gained cultural prominence with more diagnoses and more controversy, its biological causes remain elusive.
Through in-depth interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, Fitzgerald examines what it means to do scientific research in the ambiguous terrain of autism research, a field marked by shifting horizons of uncertainty and ambivalence. He draws out how autism scientists talk and feel their way through their research, demonstrating its profoundly affective character, and expanding our understanding of what is at stake in the new brain sciences.

When you meet anyone who has Asperger's symptoms, you may not notice immediately, the victim is just as smart as other people, but has more trouble with interpersonal skills; he/she also will come with an obsessive concentration on one subject, or perform the same actions over and over.
Doctors used to think about Asperger as another severe condition; however, in 2013, the latest edition of the typical publication that mental health experts use, called The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), change how Asperger syndrome has been categorized.
Today, Asperger's symptoms are technically not just a diagnosis alone; it is now part of the broader category called autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This band of related mental medical issues stocks some symptoms. However, lots of individuals still use the word Asperger; precisely, the condition is what doctors call a "high-functioning" kind of ASD; this implies that the symptoms are less severe than other types of autism spectrum disorders.
The DSM-5 also contains a new analysis, called social pragmatic communication disorder, which includes some symptoms that overlap with Asperger; doctors utilize it to describe individuals who have trouble speaking and writing but have usual cleverness.
