Oh, Beguiling Orbit, I'm sure you're downplaying your chameleon abilities: many of us can mimic well enough to fool even seasoned psychiatristsIt took until adulthood, but I can mimic NT behavior well enough to fool untrained undergraduate students.
It's not really being cured if someone did grow out of it naturally however, it's the development and growth of the brain which could feasibly fix many 1000s of synapses and it maybe even partly spiritual development. As I stated in my previous post I know it's possible to partly grow out of lower functioning autism to become higher functioning and it's not just about learning to emulate either because if that was the case my brothers would have also overcome it with exactly the same upbringing.I have to disagree with this assertion that you can rid yourself of autism. It is very similar to " Autism Speaks' "ideology which is a fallacy.
Neuro plasticity is 1 thing, but fixing 1000s of synapses is something impossible at this point in scientific studies .
Autism is a Neuro Developmental Disorder with deficits in social communication among other areas.
It cannot be cured. It isn't a Virus.
Overtime, with behavorial therapy or ABA we can learn different ways of processing the information in a way we can understand to better ourself and lead a productive and fulfilling life.
