What is the most hopeful solution to autism?

NAS73180

What is the most hopeful solution to autism?  This website suggests mostly problems.  There is no sense of personal connection; just written words by people in isolation.  Twelve step fellowships, br comparison, involve real people in meetings with real people with a common solution.  No money or outside interests are trying to get in on the action.  
Could that altruistic model of non-professionals work?

  • For myself, prayer and the hope of a cure, along with help and support in practical ways is perhaps the only solution that I can think of - many Catholic religious organisations and religious congregations of priests friars and nuns could discern that there is clearly a need, as they once did in the past, as help from the state simply does not cut it and leaves adults out in the cold, as their focus is too much on children - these have been the subjects of prayer petitions that I’ve left on the Lourdes website to Our Lady of Lourdes (Saint Bernadette) - many autism charities are also too focused on children and not adults and even expensive private sources of support aside from the expense, put too many barriers for accessing adult support, such as GP referrals - even accessing a GP or a social worker on the NHS and the councils since Covid has become much more difficult, as has accessing adult mental health services and this is simply going to get worse going forward
