Views on autism 'cures'

Hello all,

This is my first post here but have been looking at the forums on and off for a while now.

My 3 year old son is a completely non verbal and suspected of Autism. Me and my partner, and the majority of professionals involved in his development all agree, but until the Child Development team in our area have a formal diagnosis meeting, he is only considered as needing language and communication support, but thats an entirely different discussion.

The point for this post could potentially be dangeours, but I had to ask. Should a moderator decide this thread needs to be shut down, then I have no issues with that.

My question is twofold. Firstly, do you think there ever will be a cure for Autism?

And my second, slightly more contraversial question is if there was suddenly a cure, would you get your child/partner/yourself to undergo the cure?

    If I could recommend one exercise its the boy scan meditation.  It helps with body dissasociation and for me it helps with my digestion too because it activates my Parasympathetic Nervous System too.  I know it takes a long time to.  SOmetimes my boy scans take over half an hour but you feel more in touch with your body and surroundings.
