My younger cousin was recently diagnosed with autism. I do hope they find a distinct cause for the disorder (if it is in fact caused by one thing) and continue to improve treatments for it.

I don't think there is a family that does not either have someone or know of someone who does not have a person with autism. I just read of a woman that son has a severe case and was find until the age of 8 and then all of a sudden slipped away mentally. They were able to bring him back to where he was before but it took them about a year. All went well until he was around 18 and then it hit him again until he was 23 years old. What she and her husband went through along with her son is unbelievable and so sad. It would tear your heart out. I think Autism affects every family.

I'm autistic and Autism Speaks does not speak for me. Being autistic is the way I am and I don't want to be "cured" - whatever that would be - I'm not diseased. I agree with Amanda Baggs' answer on the interview question if autistics should be treated: "Yes - treated with respect." A fight against autism is a fight against autistics.
