I am fascinated to understand what autism is exactly. It's sad that, like the article says, the many of these kids are unusually beautiful and/or gifted. I've heard that it could be a form of extreme ADD, a condition associated with higher than average intelligence. If you correlate better looks and higher intelligence, than this makes this theory seem more likely. In that case, these autistic kids are not "Retards" but in fact have higher potential than average, but cannot develop it because of the disabilities of their condition. All that makes the idea of euthanasia hard to do I suppose. It also triggers the paranoid side of me that knows that an enemy would target the most beautiful and talented (the whole vaccine thing, and who knows what else).
