If it means "everything about" autism, then yeah, it's doubtful science will provide all the answers. I do believe there are limitations in the world and in human advancements. For example, will we ever figure out how to reverse aging? Highly doubtful. <BR/><BR/>But can science provide some answers and some understanding?

Few "observe" without objectifying autism, turning it into something that makes sense to the observer, which is not pure science. (Rather like creating God in one's own image.) TOM is the NT explanation for the "disparate" functions of the "autistically" nuanced mind.

Thank you for admitting that Autism is a multi-faceted multi gene and social spectrum of extremes. You are wrong in stating and doing a disservice to those you teach if you can not grasp the fact that we can and will do more for individuals with Autism.
