Science is slowly starting to get it right again. By seeing autisms differences as defects, researchers may fail to fully understand the condition, said Dr. Laurent Mottron, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Montreal. Recent data and my own personal experience suggest its time to start thinking of autism as an advantage in some spheres, not a cross to bear, Mottron wrote in a commentary published today (Nov. 2) in the journal Nature. ....... I no longer believe that intellectual disability is intrinsic to autism, Mottron said. To estimate the true rate, scientists should use only those tests that require no verbal explanation. m.livescience/16849-autism-advantages-research.html
