THE NEW FORTY 
I wonder if there aren’t relatively more autistic kids because our culture has grown more understanding, more compassionate, and more of them survive to become statistics. The few autistic kids I have known had sudden, violent, irrational moments that could lead to fatal accidents. But parents now are more aware and more protective. Currently, Nature, if you can call our society natural, does not select against autistic kids. MY question for you would be, is it safe or wise to let autistic kids grow up and breed?
GOd bless you and your dear family we have met this week.

Autism is one of the most fascinating subjects I have ever encountered–I can see why you would wish to take part in that field of study! Historical research has found that many of the great geniuses in history (science, history, math, music, art, etc) were most likely autistic. I have also read that technically we are all somewhere on the autism spectrum. With every passing day a little more is being learned about how to best direct those who simply need special handling in order to unlock their great potential–and in that process, they discover things that benefit all of us in our own ongoing learning process.
