One question comes to mind reading this report. When discussing Autism I believe one must make a distinction between those with Aspergers Syndrome and those with Autism. My son is 18 and has Autism. Minimal verbal communication, issues with fine motor skills, unable to read or write effectively. The reality is he will never be able to attend college, and I have doubts about his ability to ever hold a steady job.
Can the authors of this study break out the figures for those with Aspergers versus traditional Autism?
