44. You've posted a link to a tabloid article with misinformation about autism symptoms.

All I'm doing is pointing out that it is misinformation. As this entire thread demonstrates, there is enough misinformation floating out there already about autism without perpetuating more of it.

I don't think you need to be so defensive about people seeking clarification on the topic that you've introduced. What "symptoms" exactly is this drug supposed to treat is a relevant question and so are questions about the ethics around "curing" autism given the very dark history of attempts to do so.

For example, this boy who died from chelation therapy: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna9074208

Or all the kids who died from restraint therapy: https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/death-school-parents-protest-dangerous-discipline-autistic-disabled/story?id=17702216

Or all the kids who were tortured by being trained not to stim or have vocal tics: https://whyy.org/segments/how-a-therapy-once-seen-as-a-victory-for-autistic-kids-has-come-under-fire-as-abuse/

This is a discussion board. If you want to post an article about a pill for "switching off" autism, then by all means let's discuss it. The problem is you don't seem very interested in doing that or in listening to the perspectives of actual autistic people about something that could have significant implications for their lives.
