CURE Quote
“As I explain to parents, the cure for Asperger’s syndrome is very simple—it is not surgery, medication or intensive therapy,” says Tony Attwood, one of the world’s leading authorities on the subject. “It is taking your son or daughter to their bedroom, leaving the bedroom, and closing the door. You cannot have a social deficit when you are alone. You cannot have a communication problem when you are alone. Your repetitive behavior does not annoy anyone when you are alone. All the diagnostic criteria dissolve in solitude. That’s why teenagers with Asperger’s are reluctant to leave their bedroomfor school: the signs of autism, and the degrees of stress and withdrawal, areproportional to the number of people present.”
