Autism can only be improved with positive aspects in the autistic person's life. It cannot be cured at all. There is no way to rewire a brain. Also, they are people, not broken, and no need to be repaired. My son and a precious friend have autism and are wonderful individuals. Autism is a part of the human world and is not going away. It has been here from the beginning of time. Why cure them anyway? They just need loving guidance and to be treated as anyone else would like to be treated.

I have ASD and personally I don't think any more people have it today then in the past. Because there is more knowledge today and information about it now then there was back when. The 1 in 10000 kids estimate is not in concrete. There are a lot of un diagnosed people out there, I wasn't diagnosed as a child. And 1800's, for instance, it was called other things and dealt with in other ways. Until something is "media-ized" or talked about more, it doesnt seem as pervalent. Thats how I see it.

Fantastic, informative clip. Can I ask what the sources of your information are as I'd like to reference some of these statistics/figures/facts.

So true. My 9 yr. old son has ASD. I wouldn't trade him and the way he is for a million dollars. But society in general...that's another subject.

Experiments? I think not. Do not say that Autists (which is not even correct) don't care about people. They do have feelings, emotions, etc. And the appopriate term for them are "Autistics" or "Aspies" (if they have Asperger Syndrome). Most are a sevant in atleast one of the arts, and many, many famous people were autistic in some manner. Learn the facts, get educated, and umm, get a life! Maybe you could make yourself a scientific guinea pig for experiments on humans.

The facts in this video are acurate. If more people in this world could be educated, understanding, and accepting of people with autism it would make life a bit easier until a cause and cure are found.

They should just do experiments on them. They dont care for us anyway, stupid autists!

[javsmom]

amen. check out vaccination the hidden truth. although, whats the point- the only way 90% of you will believe it is if your children are poisoned. and even then most of you would go on accepting that it's just a part of life.

autism can be caused by people or parents that abused or mistreated the child,or it can be inherited from birth
