2. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a poorly-understood biologically-based neurological developmt problem

The fact that a hospital such as Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, which is a teaching hospital affiliated with a famous Medical School such as Harvard's could offer such an experimental study/treatment program for autism, in the hopes of a supposed "cure" for Autism Spectrum Disorder, thereby attracting desperate people who, due to such poor understanding on the part of neurotypical people, is rather disconcerting--and horrible, for that matter. The fact that this experimental treatment for his autism cost the man his marriage and his family is even more horrific. There's still too much of an intolerance and lack of acceptance in our society, and throughout the world of autism and people afflicted with it for the good of our society and the world, generally. It's rather obvious, imho, that this treatment is not a good thing, at all.
