Wait. There are autism experts that know more about adult's autism than children's? I find that odd, considering how hard it is to find any literature on the subject aimed at describing the effects it has past age 14.

I mean, I know some autism experts aren't as knowledgable about autism as they're expert status would seem to imply, but that sentence to me seems to imply that there are experts that know more about autism in adults than autism in children.

Remember this is in China. There may not be the same level of knowledge there. Most of the country is still very rural.

Okay, I understand.

I hope they can investigate this girl's behaviour before and after she died with sensivity.

It would be interesting to see just how much the Chinese do know about autism, as well as the rest of the third world.

But there is no time to discuss it now.
