>>> There are lots of well-known people with autism, like Albert

Einstein and Bill Gates; you don't want your child to become like

them?

I hope you aren't feeling 'picked on' for asking your question, which

was a very good one that other people ask. Hopefully you can see the

other side and how complex the situation is. Autism spectrum isn't

just one thing. If it were, we probably wouldn't have all the heated

disagreements on causes, therapies, what works and what doesn't, etc.

But the diagnosis is based solely on observed behavior and the

judgement of the examiner. So you get people with completely

different symptoms and different underlying problems getting the same

diagnosis. Its no wonder entirely different programs help different

individuals. And individuals have very different abilities.

Please keep posting questions and comments.
