Right and I think a lot of the people who oppose research into cures don’t empathize with people like you and your son given that we (the HFAs) can at least express ourselves.
Exactly. As an Old, I didn’t know that I was HFA until I started looking into autism on behalf of our son. I suspect that the causes of autism are so deep in the way that our brains work that a cure is improbable. I do hope that combinations of medication and therapy can be found that will enable autistics to become more comfortable and functional in society.
