I don't know autistics are still human...

You'd suggest autistics are...what? Breadboxes?

The severely Autistics, what do they do?

The guy with Aspergers that can function well seemingly, but his house is a mess, he can't look after himself and his hygiene, and he's falling to pieces, what does he do? Who does he turn to?

Robot, robot can help those cannot look after themselves, while other can improve the robot.

Autism Speaks thinks it's an underestimate.

One article mentioned that the "Combating Autism Act" is up for renewal, so this statistic may help empower political interests to get the money.

I thought Sweetleaf was saying "I don't know, autistics are still human", rather than "I don't know (that) autistics are still human".

Fox, the Daily Mail, and such, are often biased, and often don't report science very well, but a story isn't automatically invalid because it comes from Fox.

Never said it was. I just don't see why the OP couldn't have picked a better source.

Disgusting, this isn't something to be happy about.

While I disagree about it being 'disgusting' there is nothing disgusting about the existence of people with autism....I would agree its not exactly something to be jumping for joy about, there are quite a few downsides to having the disorder after all.

While Fox News is full of lying liars who lie, this isn't the sort of thing they tend to lie about.

I'm sorry but the above statement is inaccurate. They are actually lying liars who lie about lying.However, their lying is fair and balanced because they will lie about anyone and anything
