Why is there no effective treatment for autism? I guess the world does not care about us. Maybe the world should all kill autistic babies and be done with it. The cost for caring for a person with autism is high.
Sieg heil! :twisted:

Autism is probably a form of brain damage caused by some undetermined mechanism IMO. So, while you may get rid of what caused it in the first place, it's not likely that you'll actually fix the brain of a person who's been effected.

Of course there's a lot more to it than that. If you fixed the effected area, you would still have to learn all that you missed out on. So the age of the person would matter a great deal too.

You can't fix everything.


Brain damage?

AS runs in my family.

Were we all dropped on our heads as babies?

I don't think so.


The same applies to my family. It has to be genetic.
