How does research to prevent a condition which might render someone physically dependent for the rest of their lives and unable to process ordinary stimuli without experiencing distress? Choosing a path which might result in more people developing autism rather than fewer seems pretty cruel if only to spare the feelings of a few people who apparently think research into their condition might stigmatize them.
