Since my main reason for participating in pen-l is to further the development of Marxian political economy, I see no point in discussing the issues of this thread any further.
(BTW, in case anyone cares about the facts, my son's problems seem to be neurological rather than chemical as Rakesh asserts. According to current research at least, autism -- including Asperger's syndrome (borderline autism) -- is a problem of neurological difficulties in one's brain's processing of information received from one's external environment and from one's own body. It's like the opposite of being deaf: that is, one hears too much. But this extends to all of the seven senses, including the proprioceptive and vestibular ones.)
