one reason why the money is in that field is because of the plague of autism that's hitting these days. Too bad for our friends, the drug companies, that there is no medicine for autism. But related conditions (such as ADHD) and side-effects of autism (such as depression) can be treated with meds. I am feeling bitter about this because my son Guthrie (who has Asperger syndrome, mild autism) was over-medicated for far too long. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
