Can Autism be cured??

I was reading an article on Zerohedge today,a well known "far right conspiracy nutcase site"  which was about the rising prevalence of Autism.

We all know that many people claim that vaccines (or mercury used as an adjuvant in vaccines) cause Autism, (which doesn't work in my case, but what the heck, people claim all sorts of unlikely things to be true nowadays) and that position is made very clearly in the comments sections amongst many others. 

Where I agree with the strident people here who ALWAYS pop up to rubbish any ZH link I publish, is that there is a lot of rhetoric, misguided or actually 100% false opinion and information to be read in the comments section, and some of the articles are not much better, indeed.

Where I disagree with those same detractors is that reading them is a useless or even BAD experience. JUST as this forum has ME, Malojian & Juniper from Gallifrey all very different posters with different styles coming from quite clearly diffferent places ALL of us have a "place at the table" (even if it does mean putting up with the likes of me!)  and a right to be heard*.

SO that being in mind, I read a lot of them as well as the article..

Sometimes a comment really makes me sit up and think, such as the "Autism can be cured but the cure is being suppressed" comment, not least because the author has put a lot of effort in and has added citations and evidence that can be followed up on... and I did do some of them before I needed to do something else. (It's not just laziness, I am struggliing through interruptions and "new tasks" even during the writing this post, and am now irritated with how long everything takes to get done...

I saw a well dressed person clearly more successful, comfortable, and articulate than me, telling the audience to her you tube video that "yes Autism can be cured". I would rush to believe but for the fact that I've also had a bunch of very similar appearing people telling me that a succession of MRNA injections can make sure I don't catch covid I believe "Safe and Effective" was the psychologcial "baited hook" in that case, so why should I believe her?

BUT nevertheless, the question having been raised in this "fixers" head remains:

COULD Autism be "Curable"??

Not interested in the modern idea of "treatments" which are about as effective as the "servicing" that modern cars get, I'm wondering if it can be CURED like my own suicidal ideation was a few years back.

  • I remember watching a Temple Grandin video which included some MRI scans of NT and ND brains and it looked like there were some quite significant differences so I suspect a cure would either have to happen soon after conception or involve some pretty major brain surgery.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a method of viewing structures and composition, in this case being used to look at a biological structure .

    Both of which are somewhat plastic when it comes to biological things, as has been demonstrated recently by MRNA technology becoming a thing and the copious number of scans that have been made showing various changes caused by various agents. 

    SO MAYBE drastic brain surgery is only ONE possible method that could "cure Autism"?

    In much the same way as one can have a wart surgically removed by a doctor, OR you can simply dab it with an oil and the thing will just go away and not return. 

    It the same thing you want to get done, (lose the wart)  but multiple methods. 

    But, the doctor won't tell you about the oil... Many people think that ONLY a doctor knows anything useful about human biology, completely ignoring their own experience when it flies in the face of that belief, so many people can see only ONE solution, whereas some seemingly problems have multiple solutions.
