This would be wonderful, but one must look at the quote from the article
“Many also have above-average IQs and had been diagnosed with relatively mild cases of autism. At age 2, many were within the normal range for motor development, able to walk, climb and hold a pencil.”
Maybe they were misdiagnosed from the start.
I agree with you.
“Maybe they were misdiagnosed from the start.”
Agreed.
I cannot remember the name of the author, but he basically found that many children with “Einstein syndrome”, delayed speech and inward focus but are actually very high IQ, are misdiagnosed with autism.
I agree completely.
There is so much that isn’t know about autism. There doesn’t seem to be consensus on why it occurs, so how can they cure it?
I know two people who have been diagnosed with (and absolutely fit the criteria for) Aspergers, which is a Autism Spectral Disorder. One, with extreme effort, has managed to overcome many of the worst aspects of it.
Of the two, he was more affected than the other person, yet he’s made the greatest strides away from Aspergers and into normal everyday life.
Is he cured, or has he simply learned to mask his illness?
I’m not sure even he could answer that.
