Well, piss on them. I grew up seeing and hearing the kids in "special education." I cannot say that any of them were autistic, but they were all impaired in one way or another, and it was uncomfortable as a child to experience pity toward others. The autistic child who is incommunicado is as impaired as Hellen Keller, only far less equipped mentally to overcome those problems. Anything that can prevent the condition or reverse it will be like unlocking the door to those condemned to a lifetime of solitary confinement.

Parents who love their child and surpass their difficulties are wonderful parents. But if they have no desire to unlock their child's prison, they are living only for their own self-adoring sainthood.
