No offense to anyone at all, but do you feel that special ed students grow up to be able to adequately contribute the community? (Sorry for the seriousness, I just have always thought about this)

That is a good point. However lets assume the child has a very aggressive case of autism; one that inhibits his ability to do daily tasks on his own. Do these children ever achieve a state of life in which they can contribute to society? Also, the amount of money and effort we put into the education and care of kids with such serious cases of autism is ridiculously high. Not trying to be harsh, but for lack of a better way of saying this, whats the "point" of it all?

Thank you so much for answering my questions. Your doing great work and you love your job. Keep doing what you do!

I appreciate your responses very much. I have just one more question, if you were a parent and while the child was still in the womb, it was determined that you child would have a high likeliness of autism or a similar mental disorder, would you choose to bring that child into the world or would you abort? (I feel terrible asking this but as I mentioned, this has always been a subject of interest)
