Inclusion to the Point of Dilution.
Benaron, Lisa D.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n3 p355-59 Jun 2003

It argues that clinicians are doing a disservice to individuals who are given the diagnosis of autism by considering the group as a whole, without further efforts to subtype based on something other than behavioral characteristics.
