Now you may consider this a rather odd question but let me explain a bit about the context.

As some of you may know we run a Facebook page called AutismTalk which features discussion and information about ASD (or ASC).

In the last few months there has been a fairly wide-ranging conversation about autism and cures for autism.  Indeed it is, as far as I can see, the most controversial question within the autism community.

While I know opinions are strong I’m also interested to get some level of quantification.  So I have set up the poll below.  It would be great if you could take a few second to take part.

If you want to share your views in more detail please use the comments box below to add your thoughts and opinions.

We are hoping to use them as the basis for a more detailed blog post in the next few weeks.
