This glossary is designed to explain some of the scientific
terminology, abbreviations etc. used by some people when they
talk about autism or research. You may be able to find more
information, including links to other parts of this website, by
clicking on the title of an item. If you can’t find the word you
are looking for, or you know of a word we should include, please
email email@example.com The fact that an intervention is listed
in this glossary does not necessarily mean that we agree with
its use. Nor does it necessarily mean that there is any
scientifically valid or reliable evidence behind it. Over time
we hope to evaluate each of the interventions listed in this
glossary, providing a ranking which tells you the level of
scientific evidence which supports or does not support its use.
