Again
we find that a set of disorders requires an "other"
category into which difficult cases can be placed. One kind of case
that is placed here is "Atypical Autism," involving severe
and pervasive impairments, particularly in social interaction, that
don't quite fit the criteria for Autism, Schizotypal
Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia,
or Avoidant Personality Disorder. In
addition to the deficits in social interaction, markedly stereotypic
behaviors may justify this diagnosis.
