IMO, when discussing empirical issues, what matters is the evidence. I would simply say that Autism is a neurological "difference." The term "aberration" places a negative judgment on it.

Few things are as credible as the people that didn't get the outcome they thought they would.
took me another cup of coffee to get it but yes of course you're right, what i meant is: you have to have at least enough faith in the theory to start researching it in the first place, but if you look at the link i posted before, the people who found the proof of interbreeding between cro magnons and neanderthals were not convinced in the beginning.
to be honest i am not sure how they came to researching it in the first place if that is the case. i suspect they all kept their faith secret until the end
just to seem more credible....
i wish i had the means to research this instead of just talking about it on my computer. Being a stay at home mum is going to complicate my research i suspect
