AB In their fine article1 Shaywitz et al have done themselves a disservice both in the title as well as in their failure to realize the significance of these two cases. What in essence the authors are describing are two children with autism secondary to the fetal alcohol syndrome. I find this most fascinating for as I wrote in another letter several years ago,2 autism is a syndrome of either known or unknown etiology and time has only confirmed this impression.
