Commodifying autism: The cultural contexts of 'disability' in the academy
TL;DR: The cultural presence of autism has grown vastly over the past few decades, with the impairment becoming the subject of films (e.g. Rain Man, 1998; Snow Cake, 2006), novels (i.e., The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, 2003), autobiographies (e.,g. Grandin, 1996; Lawson, 2000), museum exhibitions and newspaper articles as discussed by the authors.

A neurochemical theory of autism
TL;DR: Panksepp et al. as discussed by the authors put forward the idea that autism is an emotional disturbance arising from an upset in the opiate systems in the brain, and hence proposed, as a possibility, opiate antagonist therapy for the autistic syndrome.
