You have a good point here but I wouldn't place too much hope in it. Many of these people can't even dress themselves or talk. Examinations of their brains show profound irregularities, even deformaties. It seems the autistic brain concentrates its attention to some particular activity to the exclusion of everthing else. I wouldn't want any child to be born with this condition.
My daughter was very recently diagnosed as autistic. She’s not potty-trained (age 6), speaks in grunts, sqeaks, and sometimes ‘singing’, can’t dress herself, and enjoys putting things in her mouth.
She’s also chewed a hole in her bedroom wall, and has smeared poop all over the walls and carpet of said bedroom more than once.
I can only hope we can find a way to ‘unlock’ her brain.
