What is the most hopeful solution to autism?

Massive and almost impossible changes to society? An actual working support system? Better education about autism?

It’s not about us changing, it’s about everyone else. 

A lot people have talked about less talk of a cure, which I agree with, we don’t need a cure and frankly, there probably isn’t one beyond lobotomising us. I think autism is too fundamental to be cured, we’re built this way from the ground up. It’s turtles all the way down. Though I’d be lying if sometimes I didn’t wish for a pill that could turn off all the sensory stuff just for a little bit.

That change will only occur when the ratios (growing autistic percentage generation to generation) hit the required tipping point. But it is coming. We won't be around to see it of course.
