Autism is neither neurodevelopmental nor a disorder. It is simply an inherent neurophysiological difference in how the brain processes information. We who are autistic live in a specialized inner space that is entirely intellectual, free from emotional and social distractions. We observe the world in scholarly detail but without any emotional attachment to what we see. It may be time for the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to consider if autism should continue to be included in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

The author is a neuropsychologist who describes in detail how his autism was induced by trauma suffered at the age of six, how his enquiring mind led him to the discovery of the neurophysiological cause of autism, how he developed a litmus test to know for certain if someone suspected of being autistic has been correctly diagnosed, and how his lifelong autism has recently been reversed by an unexpected traumatic event.
