I made some recent edits for clarity on your sandbox. Also, what if the lead said:

Autistic disorder (or early infantile autism or, more commonly, autism)...

Nice. Anthony (talk) 10:04, 13 November 2010 (UTC) Actually, I prefer "include in" to "encompass into". But I like the other suggestions. Anthony (talk) 10:25, 13 November 2010 (UTC). Sorry, I just thought of one more thing. I've taken it to the disambiguation page sandbox.[reply]

I prefer "psychiatric syndrome" to "neurodevelopmental disorder" and its equivalents, because it is the common-language class to which autistic disorder belongs. "Neurodevelopmental disorder" is a specialist term in psychiatric nosology, and so I don't believe it's appropriate for this disambiguation page. I'm thinking "psychiatric syndrome" will be sufficient detail for the reader to decide whether Autistic disorder is the article they're looking for. Anthony (talk) 11:36, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
