Abstract
A first-person account of the experience of autism is presented by a 22-year-old man who was first evaluated at the Yale Child Study Center at 26 months of age. His history and current status are reviewed. Factors related to outcome and diagnostic issues are discussed. Such accounts may be helpful in guiding research.Keywords
