  • I can accept that. But the problem is that autism is not a disease, it’s a different kind of brain wiring. Our brains are different, you can’t “treat” autism without changing the brain itself. In some cases, autism brings people to a state in which they can’t live in a neurotypical society without support, but you wouldn’t be able to cure them because you’d need a new brain for them.

    The solution is not “curing” or “treating” autism, the solution is making a society that has in mind also the neurodivergences, something that doesn’t happen today.
