A place for my thoughts. Maybe yours. Maybe we can talk. It's up to you and whether or not you post here.

Well, so far, the best information points to autism not being a disease. It isn't something that's a malfunction of normal processes. It's the processes themselves being different at a fundamental level.
In other words, the only way to conceivably "cure" autism would be by preventing it from happening in the first place. And there's just not a way to do that with current technology and knowledge. I'm not even sure if it'll ever be possible.
It's like trying to cure red hair.
