I agree with this. I think instead of working on a way to get rid of autism all together they should be working on something maybe focused on the parts of it that actually cause pain and issues. That would be a wiser application of science than "make autistic people 'normal'"

Your kid can't communicate a screeches loudly and has fits of frustration? Hey let's find a way to fix that, maybe fix or repair the communication part of the brain or something

You're sensitive to sensory stuff and have shutdowns and meltdowns when overstimulated? Hey, let's see what we can do about that.

Researchers should be focused on fixing the unpleasant and problematic parts of the disorder and finding ways to help make the condition bearable. Of course that also requires caring about the autistic person as a human being who needs help, and not regarding them as a burden who needs to be fixed for other people.

I also just meant... some sort of coaching. Especially if you're talking to someone with normal or even above average intelligence (autism is really, really broad that way) you cn basically explain that, look, most people are different than you and that's the world you'll live in - so here's some coping strategies.

To give an example - when my ex' Mum found out he was on the spectrum she practiced facial expressions with him, because a blank expression sort of disconcerts people (and they also bother you more - "are you okay, what's wrong?")

Now, do you HAVE to use that? No, but it might make your social interactions easier. Even if ou choose o disregard the skill, you have it should you need it.

I hope that made sense.

That makes sense too.
