Good, and so so... (Score 1)

While, I am glad to see that progress has been made in curing Rett's, the title is misleading and a bit pretensive. As a parent with an autistic child, and a volunteer for autistic work programs, I believe, IMHO, that autism is who somebody is, not what they have. My stepson is one of the brightest, most behaved and loving children his age that I know. Does he have his rough days, yes. But, I wouldn't change him one bit. As far as I'm concerned, quit trying to find a "cure" for autism, and concentrate on researching the best ways to teach and nurture those who are autistic to best function in the world today.
