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.

Parents
  • Autism is not curable, and if it is, then I don't think this community would be here in the first place. I don't see why someone would want to cure Autism aside from try to make them more obedient and easier to control, or something.

  • I just want (always have) to just get along and not be a social misfit.

    It seems a more reasonable and in terms of overall energy and disruption more "economic" proposition to change the way I am, rather than to change the way everyone else is. 

    Apparenlty the issue with me always has been that I am insufficienlty obedient (particularly towards "the latest thing" at least until  I have tested and evaluated it in my own time) and I'm definitely "difficult to control" indeed one complaint I have about me is how difficult I find me to control at times. 

    (I'm my own boss these days in a way that many can only dream of being, and I have a plan, but getting me to stay on track and implement it is nigh on impossible! Even before we factor in external events which also result from my flavour of Autism, which make things difficult).

    AND another thing: I've been accused many times as a child of "being mad", (I bet I am not alone in this experience) And I (long ago) looked into what being "Mad" AKA "insane" really is, and what to look for in myself.

    So I finally get told one day in my late fifties "you might have asperger's" and the test I subsequently  take says "Oh F*** Yes you have! Mr Sperg"

    Naturally enough (not knowing of this place I head off to "reddit" to see what the chattering classes have to say about Asperger Syndrome, A.K.A. Adult Autism...

    They report literally what appears to be the whole DSM book of symptoms and issues. 

    I think "Jesus! I don't to to have this", and Jesus, having spent 30 years trying to steer us right only to get nailed up for it, remains silent... I can imagine him wearing a mysterious half smile though.

    *snips a load of talking about God* in the edit...

  • ...I have to admit, you do have a great point.
