Is autism more a problem of not knowing what is wrong or having no good treatment?


Both. For the parent, autism is a devastating diagnosis as there is a lot of misinformation. The sad thing is that erroneous data is offered not only by some physicians but also by alternative health care practitioners, natural health healers, herbalists, dieticians, therapists and everyone else who owns a webpage. Many non health care workers now market products for treatment on autism without any scientific backing. We really do not know much about the disorder and we really do not have any good treatments.
