I think it might be a bit of a reach to lump "mental retardation, pathological speech delay, etc." as the only sources of mis-diagnosis of autistic children in a historical sense. We have come a long way in the last 30 years from when I first entered health care in the categorization of and appropriate diagnosis and treatment of various psychological and physiological disorders in children. I support your attempts at research and respect your tenacity.
