What causes autism? Is it a genetic disorder, or due to some unknown environmental hazard? Are we facing an autism epidemic? What are the main symptoms, and how does it relate to Asperger syndrome? Everyone has heard of autism, but the disorder itself is little understood. It has captured the public imagination through films and novels portraying individuals with baffling combinations of disability and extraordinary talent, and yet the reality is that it often places a heavy burden on sufferers and their families. This Very Short Introduction offers a clear statement on what is currently known about autism and Asperger syndrome. Explaining the vast array of different conditions that hide behind these two labels, and looking at symptoms from the full spectrum of autistic disorders, it explores the possible causes for the apparent rise in autism and also evaluates the links with neuroscience, psychology, brain development, genetics, and environmental causes including MMR and Thimerosal. This VSI also explores the psychology behind social impairment and savantism, and sheds light on what it is like to live inside the mind of the sufferer.About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Great item! Feels super soft in the lips and not greasy! SPF 30 is great since my lips get sunburned easily. Will but again!

Great lip balm that tastes terrible
Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
There are so many good things about this lip balm: it goes on really smoothly and stays on for a long time to protect your lips. It feels luxurious. It's just that it tastes terrible. Really terrible. So much so that I am going to throw it out because I just can't stand to use it.

Lip balm with sunscreen
Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Love this balm and use it almost daily.. I buy it specifically for the sunscreen in it. It goes on smoothly with a light shine. No stickiness or feeling heavy. The tube is a nice size to hold on when using and lasts for a long time.

Refund please - I did not order and/or receive this item
Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was charged for this item, but I did not order or even received it. I have written via the "return" page my situation and requested a refund to no avail. The items is actually a great item, and I have ordered it in the past and like it. However, I'm frustrated to be billed for something I didn't order and/or even receive. I hope this results in a refund.

Solid performer lip SFP.
Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’m outside constantly. Walking and training dogs. Working in the garden. Playing pickleball. I needed a good spf lip balm that was easy to put on and did not taste perfumery or gloopy. This one is great. I LOVE the little canister that screws on and off so it doesn’t pop off in my purse. And the consistency is stable despite heat and cold.
