I am 100% not trying to say we shouldn't pursue better remedies (or even cures). I am trying to say that we should be careful in how we phrase (and understand) these success stories.
For instance there were 6 success out of a group of 7, which is wonderful news. But that still means there was 1 "failure"... were the parents to blame? Did they apply the "cure" wrong? Or was this an instance of a technique not having 100% applicability.
This technique is far too late for my autistic child, but this is exactly the kind of question I would think a parent of autistic children would have, not to mention their friends and relatives who usually have even less insight into the state of autism research but who do remember headlines involving "cures for autism".
