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)

  • Fair enough....in that case what chance have we of getting local authorities and national government to take us seriously?

    I agree that autism, while being cruel to many, may be nature's way of providing abilities to make crucial breakthroughs.

    Trouble is that applies to less than one in a hundred. The rest seem to suffer needlessly and harshly.

    I don't think I suggested anywhere that autism was a disease. But there is surely no denying some people's lives are very seriously constrained by it.

    Therefore I don't think "different" is sufficient. Too many are paying a harsh price for "different"
