It would be good to have as many people as possible understanding this issue and lobbying.
Autistic children are being subjected to packing (wrapping them in cold wet towels!) alongside such outdated practices as blaming mothers - the stance taken by some psychoanalysts being that mothers are so upset at being born without a penis, they "make" their children autistic.

I am an advocate in the Eating Disorders world but this has shocked me so much.
