Subject: RE: BS: Important re AUTISTIC children
Dianavan says, "I think it is counter-productive to continually try to find the 'cause'. We know that there are many causes but this doesn't help to solve the problem of caring and educating these children."


So finding the cause in order to prevent autism or mental retardation is counter-productive? That makes NO sense whatsoever. Of COURSE education and home care are are great concerns but if the problems were eradicated (or at least greatly reduced), then the worries of educating and caring for such great numbers would decline, no?
