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)
