> "Autism" is probably like "cancer" in that it is likely a series of pathologies Why "probably"? What evidence is there for that one way or another?

  To assume that autism is a single disorder is to get the scientific method backwards. There's no proven underlying cause, just symptoms that vary greatly from individual to individual. What evidence is there that autism is a single disorder with a single underlying cause?

    I guess that's true, but Occam's Razor applies too. I'm not claiming anything either way.
