Autism is a terrible tragedy that affects many families. I have a relative who is severely autistic, so I know what families go through. There are several publicly traded pharmaceutical companies that are trying to help those afflicted by discovering and producing drugs to treat autism.
Occasionally a positive side affect appears with someone who has autism. If you missed the following video, you should check it out.
Those who dub ourselves "radicals" do so based on meaningful etymology: radical comes from the word for "at the root".. we like to look for the root cause of things and pursue that angle.
