[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting historical perspective but I disagree with this statement "....Silberman says that while much of today's autism research focuses on finding a cause for the condition, society might be better served if [b]some of the research funds were directed instead toward helping people live with autism[/b]...." While I agree in part with what he said here, [i]I disagree with the thought that we need to stop focusing on the cause.[/i] If we find the cause, we won't have to worry about trying to figure out HOW to live with Autism. [/quote] He didn't say stop focusing on the cause, but the truth is that there are many adults out there on the spectrum who struggle finding employment, housing, even with daily living skills. I think it is important to balance the priorities. Even if we can identify all the causes and genes, doesn't mean we could prevent it entirely. [/quote]
