Commentaries and review articles are a regular feature of Autism Research and we invite our readers to suggest topics that they would like to cover in one of these formats. Submission of a commentary or review article must be approved before submission.

For the commentary that follows, Professor Laurent Mottron has tackled a controversial issue related to how best to most efficiently pursue Autism Research in the future. We suspected that there may be a diverse set of opinions of his proposal and we solicited some short responses from several autism researchers. We received thoughtful responses from John N. Constantino, MD, Michael V. Lombardo, PhD, and Christopher Gillberg, MD, PhD. A response to the response was then provided by Professor Mottron. I believe that this is a thought-provoking series of essays which hopefully will lead to further discussions on this topic. If others would like to respond to this commentary, we would welcome additional letters to the editor submitted as usual through the ScholarOne Autism Research website.

在接下来的评论中，Laurent Mottron 教授解决了一个有争议的问题，该问题与未来如何最有效地开展自闭症研究有关。我们怀疑对他的提议可能有不同的意见，我们从几位自闭症研究人员那里征求了一些简短的回应。我们收到了医学博士 John N. Constantino、Michael V. Lombardo 博士和 Christopher Gillberg 医学博士的深思熟虑的回复。随后，Mottron 教授提供了对答复的答复。我相信这是一系列发人深省的文章，希望能引发关于这个话题的进一步讨论。如果其他人想回复此评论，我们欢迎像往常一样通过 ScholarOne自闭症研究提交给编辑的更多信件 网站。
