Cure for Autism? Won't happen.

Not until they invent Star Trek level medical technology anyway and even then it probably still won't happen.

There won't ever be a "cure" because there's no disease or illness to cure in the first place, even if they produced something to change an autistic person into an NT, it still wouldn't be a cure, it would be a modification, interfering with nature.

The associated symptoms can be cured though; anxiety, OCD, ect.
