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?

  • Well, what type of solution are we looking for?

    A solution to autism in general, i.e., a cure? That seems unrealistic, and to be honest I'm not sure I'd want a cure for the whole thing, since it's so fundamental to who I am.

    A solution to things like sensory issues, misunderstandings in communication, and so on? That would be lovely. A more accessible and understanding world would benefit us and so many others.

    I agree, I think there are positives as well as negatives to autistic brain wiring. I could do with a solution to the problems caused by poor executive functioning though, it is so frustrating to struggle so hard, get so stressed and have worse results, or just give up, on things which seem to be simple tasks to the majority of people.

    Yes, I definitely agree with you on that one- if there was a way to make it easier to clean my house or learn to drive that would be great. Of course there are solutions to lots of little parts of executibe dysfunction that can help, but I wish even that was easier than it is!

    Yes, it's an executive function task to find ways to improve executive function! Even trying to get help, having realised I might not be able to solve it on my own, is proving too hard. But I have booked my assessment, so that is a start!
