    -- More recently I have faced the diagnostic conundrum of catatonia in autism, and that is what I want to explore in more excruciating detail today. There is surprisingly little literature on the subject, and that is concerning because being able to identify and treat catatonia can be life-saving, not to mention life-altering for patients and their caretakers. Misidentifying catatonia as mere aggression or highly limited interests in autism can result in exactly the wrong medication being given or no medication being given and a worsening of the condition. --
