[QUOTE="SRL, post: 261149, member: 701"] What I read on adult autism sites is often a very different point of view from that of parents and professionals. Many are vehemently opposed to seeking out a cure for Autism because they know it would very much change the person they are (skills, interests, abilities, etc). Also they very much opposed to prenatal testing because they know abortion would become the preferred option just like it has with Down's Syndrome and other developmental disorders. Totally understandable there: wouldn't be a good feeling to know there's an 80+ chance you would have never been born had a prenatal test come back positive. I don't know how the breakdown would be or if those who are in opposition are more vocal, but it's very prevalant. [/QUOTE]
