Nice to have you here, Mr. Seidel.
I'm a big fan and wish you both the best.
Not a cure but curious topic
Aylissa, some of the bloggers on that article site by Andrew Solomon were parents of Autistic children with severe (so they said) behaviour issues. What can be done to help these children but not to mitigate the Autistic personalities? No one seemed to address this without going into ABA, which can end up being a sort of Skinnerian solution, a sort of new bandage on an old wound.
Does anyone here have any thoughts on this?

Agreed-they've got all sorts of article lists about a ton of things !
Had read on WP that recently the site (or the person who created it) has been under attack (lawsuit)-what little I understood of that didn't make sense (semed an unfair blame upon site & creator). Don't know how the situation has progressed or turned out.
