(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I am constrained to write this new story about successful Autism treatment because of an article I just read from TIME magazine May 25, 2009 titled HOW AUTISM AGES. It is a frightening story both for what severe damage it did to the family but also the psychological destruction it did to the autistic person.
