I don't believe anyone said the med was a "cure". They said the children improved, some significantly. That's not the same as a cure, which I tend to think makes a person 'all better' or 'well'. It seems any help at all would help the mothers of those children who it seems have a terrible time tending these kids. I saw a little autistic child at a birthday party not long ago and it cried continually from the time they arrived until the end of the party. I feel very bad for those mothers.
