That's good news! I think rapid development of science and technology can tackle many mental illnesses. I also heard that autistic people exhibit behaviors they don't want and mean to. There was an autistic kid who learned how to write and he/she(I can't remember) told people that autistic behaviors were both uncontrollable and unwanted.

@대왕광개토 That is true. I have mild autism, and I struggle with low self esteem, and personal behaviors I do, that I hate about myself. One of them, is anger problems, and many mentally disabled and mentally ill people have a higher risk of substance addiction, than people who are not mentally ill or disabled, as I also know from personal experience. The drugs, I have abused, are Ritalin, Nicotine, and tobacco, all of which can be addictive, and yes, Christians can fall prey to addiction, so can any person of faith. I just wanted to add that detail. I often feel like a failure, for struggling with addiction. i almost was murdered over a cigarette, so PLEASE don't get started with smoking. My person belief is that the only time to use drugs is if they are justifiably safe, and to treat or prevent illness, or injury. I am sorry for going on a rabbit trail, just saying how mental problems have affected me personally.
