    So we still need more data to say anything conclusive, but this looks promising.

    Six of the 14 participants had large enough declines in their scores to move down one step in the severity of their autism classification: four from “severe” to “moderate,” one from “moderate” to “mild” and one from “mild” to “normal.”

    The results should be interpreted with caution since the study did not have a control arm, Wall said. However, the findings are promising, he added.

    Having no control basically makes this not a study.

    I'm somewhat reminded of the "Social-enhancer" augmentation from the Deus Ex video game series. But to echo what other people have said here, this doesn't really mean much without a control group.
