This was a very well done video. WINK WINK. Had Paul Offitt and all of the best commentators. WINK WINK.

There is no cure, and the only treatment for Autism that has "credible research" is Applied Behavioral Therapy apparently. that is ABT, anything like CBT? WINK WINK.

Autism is a major public health crisis. More children will be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder this year than with childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. It is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a childs communication and social skills, ability to empathize and often IQ. There is no clear cause and no cure. Nationally, one in 110 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, but in New Jersey, the prevalence rate is one in 94! These alarming statistics have led to an enormous amount of scientific research in an effort to decode the mystery of autism. Scientists are studying the brains, blood and genes of children with autism and looking at the environment to find answers about what causes it.
