摘要：
The set of features that constitute 'autism' has been traced to numerous etiologies. Certain autistic features have been localized to dysfunction in certain neural areas, most notably frontal and temporal regions. The author hypothesizes that many of the symptoms characteristic of autism fit the clinical picture of frontal lobe seizures. Facial, vocal, and other body movements in autism are catalogued in parallel with facial, vocal and body movements that occur during frontal lobe seizures. The variety of etiologies that cause frontal lobe seizures also accounts for the variety of etiologies traced to autism.
