I realize that this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but, I think to say that these are "recovered" autistic kids, is a bit deceiving. Yes, they are "improved", but they are still autistic. Usually, when one is said to have recovered from an illness, it is means the illness is gone. Using the word "recovered" implies that they're cured, which, I feel is giving false hope to parents.

He's not recovered. He has just improved tremendously. He's definatly high functioning, but you can't cure Autism. It was easy for me to notice his asd signs. I also have it. It's not really good to assume that a kid with HFA is just going through an awkward stage. Yes, being 13 is hard for anyone but life will always be harder for him. Being verbal dosen't mean that someone is cured of Autism. I have always been verbal but he is actually milder than I am.

He still speaks like someone with autism, IMO. He is high-functioning, not autism-free. Autism is a different wiring in the brain. It is not "broken" and cannot be fixed. People with autism can learn through therapy, but they cannot be cured. If they become cured, then they were not autistic to begin with (lots of conditions produce temporary autistic-like symptoms).

@serial520.

I think you're confusing 'spiritual connection' with 'hypotropic drug trip'

[troutfish70]

This kid was poisoned by metals which acted as a brain toxin That brain toxin and its impacts were treated by mind controlling behavioral techniques The first lie was he was told he was sick when in fact he had been poisoned His mother was lied to his doctor was kept ignorant and the system of abuse just marches on It is a sad reality but the people who claim to want to help us have been killing us and using us as lab rats

Respond to this video...A question, please. What is cruel about calling high-functioning and successfully relating and living autistics, what they are?

When they get old enough, they will realize who and what they are anyway. As surely will their parents. Won't matter though. I'd imagine their lives will be good. Very good for aspies, actually. So well done again.

[paulwady]

@SusanRichardsDay Actually No Susan, you misunderstand me. The woman is a very lucky one, who has seriously succeeded as a Mother. For her sons are able to give her what she wants - normal-seeming children.

Tell me. Do you only believe in Disney happy-endings? Or are you a real-world person? This Mom's work is there for us Aspies to see. High-social skills. I was only commenting that, well, they are still autistic, but their futures will be good. So well done everyone. STILL AUTISTIC!

[SusanRichardsDay]

@paulwady That is very cruel to say about a mom that is doing the best she can to help her son to learn and be as well as he can. Im sure she worked very hard and she should be commended.

[paulwady]

@paulwady I am sorry to put it crudely, but basically what you have here are two, classic high-functioning Aspies. They all look like that.

Giggle...

[paulwady]

Note his body-language and orientation, as if waiting for someone to strike him at any time? They brought loads of kids to their home & trained him in social skills & he ended up with loads of friends. AMAZING! Must be recovered..

Taking the piss.

Then they discuss his comprehension in reading. Haha! This is a joke?

The Mother has no idea, has she? I want to sell her chelation therapy before someone gets there first! Idiot.

[Serial520]

@superphonics I feel like spiritual connection would exacerbate the shit out of autism, and create further emotional turmoil.

@11pouncey11 That's horrible.
