I do think it is criminal that funding for most autism patients stopped at about age 6 as long as they are high-functioning. I don't think that is right. I think autism has also been 'used' as a catch-all for things that people don't quite understand yet. I will try to make a bit more sense on Monday (I don't have a computer at home these days) - I promise I will explain myself better next week.
