I have a friend with 2 autistic children, who is an activist for autism. One is high functioning and the other is very low functioning. He has told me several times that the only thing that works with his low-functioning child is ABA therapy but it's extremely expensive. In Canada, the autism medical intervention is minimal in many parts of the country and a growing crisis. The idea that some activists would try to get rid of it is astonishing.
