Okay, it's bad enough doctors and scientists are trying to wipe out the autistic race from discovering genes to surpressing autistic children, but this is ridiculous (to me...)

Apparently, the scientists have found a way to distingush a "normal" child from an aspie through computers and recording baby speech and are going off (as usual) about how now babies are at risk of being diagosed with autism as well as all the goddamn disease prevention groups who are supporting this ludicrous claim.

Quite honestly, I say who cares? For us, It's the more the merrier! Besides, it's not like any off the Earth's problems are gonna get better anyways...

It depends upon how the knowledge is used. Positively, it could help to prepare for an understanding upbringing. Here's the BBC story:

I hope that this information doesn't get into the wrong hands. Things are getting worse, for us. I've also actually played with my toys, as s small child. I'm not diseased, I'm disordered. If I didn't know any better, I'd think that these were the 30s and 40s, but with better technology. Those researchers make me sick. Why don't they research a cure for cancer, the common cold, or the summer flu, instead? I'm perfect, just the way that I am. I bet that the Jenny McCarthys and the Mike Savages of the world, are having a field day, over that finding. If the Holocaust never happened, we wouldn't be dealing with this Autism Speaks garbage, today.

THINK AUTISM, DON'T THINK CURE! :evil:

I think a good thing, if it works. Record baby, edit out cries, burps, and discover the real base of language. They all babble, then some start speaking Chinese, some English.

And some do not follow the pattern, and sub patterns are important. Running a tape through a computer is a lot cheaper than parents bringing children in to be observed by mear humans, who we all know, have good and bad days, but they all want money.

Next we have the autistic babies have Furbie toys, that teach them to speak the dominate language.

A kid I knew well from being a baby did indeed babble, I could not understand, but her slightly older sister understood every babble. At fifteen the older sister shocked me, she started speaking in whole sentences! Language is learned in steps,

The next step is Universal Babble, starting from a common starting point, Arabic and Chinese babies babble the same, they could all have Furbies that teach them Universal Baby Talk! Starting as a world wide second language, it could become Planet Standard in a generation or two.

It is nothing for the existing technology in computers, and WiFi Furbies.

Autism is a good excuse, but the real problem is humans, we must cure them before they destroy the planet. A common language, an early education through computer fed toys, we might have a chance.

It would also develop a computer/human language, computers say they understand the autistc, but the rest use words that lack meaning, You know!

Babies are kept in cages for a few years, we should make the most of it.

It might help, but I doubt even a common language could fix everything wrong with us as a species.

This is a good idea actually, because if you can tell if a baby will be autistic then you've got time for the early intervention programs and you know what to expect as the child develops so you have a better idea of how to bring them up instead of being confused for years.
I wasn't diagnosed until I was 11 and no one new what to do with me growing up, I wish I had the chance to be assesed as a baby using whatever device this is.

I would like to see this happen. I was only diagnosed as having only ADHD because of the fact they did not have Aspergers diagnosis in the 70's. The special education teachers said they never met someone like me before I would not let them touch me and never made eye contact with them. I would also get upset with people sitting to close to me. They really did not know how to handle me.

Disorder is a subset of disease. All disorders are diseases.

People may not like the word, but that's what it means.

I agree with MONKEY, early intervention is critical to helping people.

I agree that this is not a bad thing.
The earlier autism is suspected, the earlier parents and professionals can help the child.
It's better to know your child is having tantrums from sensory overload,
then believing they are just bratty and making them do things that are difficult for their growing brains.
