About mid-way through the book, there comes a plot twist. This new treatment, to 'cure' the autism in adults, is now owned by the company Lou works for and the managers want to use Lou and his co-workers as experimental subjects. Because, due to their, autistic condition, they require special perks to function in their jobs. And their boss's boss sees that as waste.
And then the real twist, development and finalization of this treatment will cost many, many millions of dollars, and after treatment of this current cohort of adult autistics it will no longer have any use, since in this future infants can be successfully treated for autism. But then that must mean the procedure will lead to some further procedure not limited to the treatment of adult autistics. taraswizard
