When I was a kid, autism was a rare oddity. Now I would say the majority of kids have some sort of autism spectrum ailment. At the risk of being called old fashioned, I believe most “autism” “asperbergers” “oppositional defiance disorder” etc. are what we used to call “tantrums” and “lack of belt.”

Agree - lots of so-called “spectrum” cases could be cured by discipline and exercise.

Uh no. It’s not lack of belt.

Go to an ABA treatment center. You will see very disabled kids.

Saying take a belt to them is like saying to beat a mentally retarded child until he becomes valedictorian.
