I also believe in the cause, namely, raising awareness about autism and related disorders (ASDs). In fact, I'm upset that ASDs receive so little attention, esp. compared to the huge publicity campaign for AIDS in the past. Something must be done ASAP to find the cause and cure for these diseases, which afflict so many innocent children.
Autism awareness is likely to ramp up as more information becomes available, including how common cases are, and people discover a good approach. A few being extremely aggressive and preachy usually causes negative feedback rather than support.
I'm suspicious that pharma is all too happy to have tons of drugs dumped into children's veins, with the passive complicity of pediatricians.
$$$$$$$$$$$ via any means. Beyond that, physicians face the problem of people being way too needy. More specifically, people want a problem fixed immediately, and don't want to hear things such as "It'll run its course." Therefore, to avoid harassment, complaints, etc, doctors are strongly pressured to provide some type of treatment to their patients, even if just as a placebo.
Additionally, in regard to children (at least in the U.S.) genuine parents are extremely rare nowadays -- a situation I feel very frustrated and disappointed about.

I enjoyed the movie and thought it was pretty good. My problem though, is Jack's Miracle Worker approach to autism. I'm not a doctor but I don't think that approach would work for someone with autism. It's totally different. Helen Keller's brain worked the same as most people it was just locked away behind the deprivation of the senses of sight and hearing. For a person with autism, they have those senses but their brain functions differently.
