By scientists to read? I'm in high school at the moment. I'm not that good at writing scientific reports - Introduction, Aim, Hypothesis etc. However, it occurred to me that the more novels I read in English, the better I became at writing short stories. So, if I could get my hands on a bunch of scientific reports, I could read them and possibly become better at writing them, plus find out a whole heap of interesting stuff in the meantime.

Where could I find such reports to read?

Perhaps someone here knows about reports on autism in the scientific format?

There are quite a few reports at the Cambridge University Autism Research Centre.

You also might want to look at a report on the AQ test, which is often used for screening AS.

There are heaps of other scientific papers available for reading on the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorders. This link http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&q=autism+spectrum+disorder&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= includes papers about autism spectrum disorder. If you change the search term - e.g. to asperger's - then you will find many others as well.

Sounds like a good idea--at least it can't hurt, and you will learn stuff, too. For more general science stuff, Wikipedia and Google both have "departments" on online text books and reports, including science topics. Just wade through the menu bars. You will eventually find them. I believe there is also a national online library site that has online text books and reports, also, but I can't remember the name of it. And don't forget to do a search for online science reports/text books/educational publications/etc.
