Just the fact that you can argue on the Internet is more than many autistic people can do. You know what I would give for my cousin to be able to browse the 'Net? Heck, or even read and write? Do you know how lucky you are?

Yes, there are autistic people who are definitely intelligent even if they lack effective communication skills. But why leave them with that disadvantage if there were other options.

If they somehow discovered a way for her to be cured (because yes, it IS a disorder), my entire family would scrap up every penny we had just so that she'd have a chance of living a normal life.

Yes, I do know how lucky I am. I'm lucky to have access to a computer. I'm lucky that I wasn't written off as hopeless and not given access to things that help me communicate "normally".

Lack of verbal communication isn't all that autism is. "Curing" someone of autism would change every single thing about them - the way they process sensory input, the way they process information, the way they think and act and feel about absolutely everything. It isn't a tidy little package that you can just take out of someone's mind.

I get that, okay? But at the end of the day it's still a disorder, and the way you process information and behave and think and so on is still disordered, atypical thinking/behavior.

No offense, but that's the way it is. Autism is a disorder. It's not a personality trait. It's not something anyone chooses to be. It's a disorder, and I do hope that one day there is a cure for it (even if only by way of prevention).

I am one of the people who thinks it's really gross to "train" autistic kids the way you'd train a dog, yeah.

(frozen comment)

All kids are trained in much the same way you'd train a dog (assuming you do it right). It's how very small children learn things.

Autistic children are often trained the way you train a dog wrong, though.

Holy shit, you are a dumbass. Behavioral therapy is in no fucking way similar to the way you train a dog, plus used for a whole lot more things than just autism, so this ain't some huge ~anti-autistic conspiracy~.

behavior therapy is not 'training' like a dog (but the other person is right that IS how all small children learn) behavioral therapy is providing coping mechanisms for people who lack them instinctually. if that changes my personality (it didn't - just people's perception of my personality) then I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I WANT TO COPE
