There was an article in the Google News ... a book written about a family's experience with autism ... "When horse became saw" ....( http://www.borders.com.au/book/when-horse-became-saw-a-familys-journey-through-autism/23755672/) ..... the growing community awareness of autism is good. It will be even better when autism is perceived as a community problem instead of a problem for the individual family.
My bleak futurism ponders what Australia would be like in 2 or 3 generations if the current political and community apathy continues. The true social and financial cost of autism will not hit till the victims are adults ... with the growing incidence of autism, that cost will be massive if a shift in community attitude doesn't happen.
Autism must be tackled in childhood .... or else!!!
