Recreational Autism?
Filed Under health, medicine, neuroscience, quality of life, science
Scientists may have worked out a way to turn people autistic, then turn them back.
Reports i09:
Need to finish that work project, and wish you had the mental intensity to do it? Just take a synapse-regulating inhibitor, induce temporary autism, and you’ll want to ignore your friends and do nothing but number-crunching for days. Autism-inducers could become as popular as Provigil among the geek set by 2020. Last night, in fact, a group German researchers announced they’d perfected the method for inducing autism. (They can also cure it.)
Don’t let the bosses know about this or they’ll be putting this medication into our morning coffee!
Let’s hope that the research into autism creates a cure that will work.

there is still no permament solution for autism. we just have to take good care of the kids who are suffering autism.’*’
Hi Kylie,
You’re right — we need to make sure that always take good care of children (and adults) with autism. Maybe we need to look more at therapy options that might provide solutions.
