The Snell Institute of Cognitive Studies at Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan announced the results of a five year investigational study of the persistence of autism for males between the ages of 12 to 18 years old. The lead researcher, Dr. Ivan Richardson, stated that the condition of autism is known to reverse itself in approximately 3.7% of the time during the late adolescence.
Dr. Richardson states that autism is the result of an imbalance of a previously undiscovered hormone in the brain. He states that children typically move back and forth along the spectrum as the brain develops in response to environmental variables. Richardson explained that autism should be treated from a holistic multifaceted standpoint.
Richardson claims that numerous simple actions may reduce autistic behaviors by as much as 60%. He said that regular outdoor exercise, nutrition, and sleep has remarkable benefits. He so stated that numerous therapies such as Applied Behavior Analysis actually makes the condition worse in the long term despite superficial short term benefits.
When asked about the rest of the cure, Richardson stated that he could not believe what his team discovered. According to Richardson, an isolated tribe in a remote area of Africa experiences an illness related to autism as a result of a naturally occurring neurotoxin in the vicinity. The illness spikes when the indigenous snake population goes through a periodic decline every ten to fifteen years. When the snake population recovers, the incidence and severity of autism decreases. The snake when eaten raw reduces the symptoms of autism for a period of days or weeks.
Richardson stated that a cure for autism is most likely 5 to 7 years away. The snakes will need to be bred in farms outside of its indigenous habitat in order to produce a sufficient quantity of the active ingredient that treats autism. He also said that his will be challenging due to the dietary and environmental needs of the snake. He says that the biggest hurdles will be the lengthy process of obtaining F.D.A. approval and legal obstacles to exporting the snakes to the United States.
Under international patent law, the treatment belongs to the Ggijskn tribe. Moreover, the snakes are considered sacred by the tribe because of their healing properties. The tribe fears that the snake goddess, Ibwtniiq, would be offended by the secular use of her her powers. An international treaty ratified in 1989, prohibits the export of sacred biologicals as part of a deal to extract valuable mineral resources.
The Ggijskn Tribe allowed the export of these minerals at well below market value due to their lack of knowledge of modern economics. The tribe still operates on a barter system and insists on the repatriation of the snakes that were unlawfully studied and removed by Richard's team.
Hansel Lexicaan, a consultant from South Africa, states that the United States is in a difficult position because it must repatriate the snakes and snake remains. Failure to do so would be an offense to the tribes sovereignty and theoretically an act of war on an already exploited people without the resources to defend themselves.
Ingree Thalms, the CEO of PDH International Pharmaceuticals, says that this is the single most important drug of the new millennium. He predicts that the Ggijskn is about to become the wealthiest clan in the world. When asked for clarification, he estimates the value of the rights to the snakes is in the trillions of dollars.
Lexicaan agrees with Thalms. Hansel said that recent political instability due to the extensive mineral resources in the area further complicates the issue. He said that the United States should consider making Ggijskn the 51st state. Otherwise, he predicts a war in the area that could destroy the snakes' natural habitat.

The above essay is a product of my imagination as deemed appropriate for April 1, 2014. The only thing real about the essay is my fear of people trying to make a quick buck off from autism. The search for a cure is a waste of taxpayer money.
