It could be that most of The Demand for a Cure for Autism comes from Neurotypicals. Answer by Zem Jones:

To "cure" me would be to change the person I am into someone I don't recognise. To "cure" some of the issues caused by my autism, such as my heightened anxiety, or hyperacusis, or my bowel problems, would be a blessed relief. People who want a cure for autism do not understand what needs curing and generally they must be people who don't know autism from the inside, or people who have been taught that it is autism that is the whole problem when it is probably a sensory difference or comorbid condition or combination of them that causes the discomfort and distress they see on the outside. I have a friend who has a child with Kanner's autism. He also has epilepsy. She tells me that when his epilepsy is under control he thrives as if his presentation was more like Asperger's rather than Kanner's but she always knows when a big fit is coming because he regresses into classic autistic behaviours for days beforehand. To me this says the autism is not the problem for him and I suspect the same is true for most children diagnosed with classic autism - if they could tell us what the problem really is and we could cure that then how much better would their lives be? I think people who want to cure the autism itself don't even know what autism really is.

Cinnabar (adj) – a bright red color tinted with orange

Sitka mountain ash (Sorbus sitchensis) is known for its red berries, an important winter food for many birds and animals. However, its fall foliage can also be brightly colored, ranging from yellow to deep red. Or, in this case, cinnabar – a red color tinted with orange. What other unique colors have you seen this fall?

What Are the Colors of Alien Life?

As astronomers begin to study planets beyond our solar system, they are reëxamining the biological palette.

I wonder what Alien Lifeforms which have evolved on Habitable_Zone Moons and Habitable_Zone Planets in Other Solar_Systems would look like?
