Autism , especially in California, is at epidemic levels! A day in the life of a severely autistic adult would change a lot of Freepers ideas on services for autism.I will say again, I am AGAINST big spending! I am against wasteful spending. But disabilities and the helpless are another story in my books!!

Most autistic people suffer from fits, though they are not epileptic. Perhaps they normally died young before the invention of all kinds of medicines.

In the "good old days" autistic people used to be warehoused in institutions and forgotten about by "civilized society."
