Actually, Cockney, based on the interview with her on ABC Evening News, quite the opposite. She wants her son's strengths recognized, and his differences accepted. At first, like most people, she knew nothing about autism, and thought there was some sort of "cure" (because when one begins looking, one finds rather a lot of curebie propaganda out there), but she has since learned that the propaganda is just that, and that her son is just fine the way he is. (In fact, I kind of got the feeling that if you tried at this point to tell her that her son needs "cured", she'd start foaming as fast as my wife does when someone says that about our daughter!)
