Does this person even have a child with ASD?  ASD is diagnosed through behaviors.  It's not like cancer where there are physical/biological indicators.  Everyone has autistic traits in some form or another but it's the severity and combinations of behaviors that gives autistic people a diagnosis of ASD.  If the behaviors are not there, no longer there and/or does not reach a critical level, the person does not have autism.

Not sure why this pp is so committed to her belief that ASD is incurable...[/quote]

Everyone has autistic traits? Are you insane? That statement shows your naiveté. Patently false statement. There are several people who are arguing the same point as I am on this thread. I am not the lone person with this view.

Hold fast to your bubble but I will truly feel badly for you when that bubble bursts.[b] To minimize the symptoms of ASD enough to fall out of a dx, one had to have started early intervention even before the age of 1. And I highly doubt you can melt away all the symptoms unless the children has an above average IQ ( per Dr Copland). So rather than sitting around dreaming for this, get your babies into EI asap and do therapy 40 hrs per week.

And the smiley face in reference to male character traits was to denote what then? Thats to insinuate that 50% of neurotypical men have autistic like characteristics. Idiot.[/quote]

The smiley face was for levity since your original post was patronizing, incorrect and just plain mean.

and the fact that you obviously have no idea how ASD is diagnosed or any of the leading research but keep insisting it is "incurable".[/quote]
