Because I have written a great deal about autism, people sometimes ask me if I know of a good, single, online source that will let them read solid scientific evidence and opinion about autism. Until now, I've had to point them to multiple sources, but now I've found a Nature "special feature page" that brings together the best that Nature has published on the subject. Some of the scientific papers may require a bit of study for the non-science-minded, but the results will be worth the effort.

Say Nature's editors:

Autism spectrum disorder has attracted intense interest from the public and scientists over recent years. Nature sorts fact from fiction in this hot, but sometimes contentious, field: from the debate about soaring diagnoses, to the idea that scientists and engineers are at high risk of having a child with autism. The special includes news and comment from Nature, and articles from Nature Medicine, Nature Neuroscience and Nature Reviews Neuroscience.
