Thanks for the important information! Who can fathom autism or the selection of those who must deal with it? I think more study needs to be done not only on treatment/therapies but on diagnosing and prevention (if there can be prevention.)
And I think we should learn to live joyfully with autism. The children who are affected need to be loved, respected, and honored. And their parents too!
