Interesting article; but please do not become overly optomistic.
Research suggests children can recover from autism
It would be more accurate that some children can recover from autism. Somewhere between 6 and 25%. The research also indicates that this applies to young children with a higher functioning type of autism. Here are some of the positive predictors:
PDD/NOS diagnosis in lieu of a diagnosis of Autism was a better predictor.
Earlier joint attention also a good predictor
Higher skills in imitation, language and social interest also provided some positive prediction
Good behavioral intervention a positive.

Help to understand research
As mentioned above, if you have any questions about these articles or if you have questions about the research at the Quality Treatment for Children web page, please ask in these comments sections and I will do my best to explain what the research means. This is a place to make sense on articles and research on Autism and Asbergers.
