Could autism be a thing of the past?

look at these links, some boffins in america have discovered they can correct autism in mice by using some chemical stuff, injected over a period of week, mice with autism behavours just become normal. (Hell, why can't we do anything like this in uk?)

What do you people think of this? is it ok to correct autism? would you do this?

(I would, hell I would even pay money to be included in kind of trial reguarding this)

Another factor is that the human race only survives because of diversity (something NTs find hard to accept). Cruel though autism is, it does create different thinkers. Most of the breakthroughs in medicine, engineering, architecture, agricultural science, aerospace......have been by persistant, meticulous, focussed even obsessive thinkers.
The notion that the "normal" human, nicely standardised, will survive very long, shows how little understanding there is in these claims.
