Aspie here. "treat" autism ? There is no treatment, only ways to adapt.

[romwell]

And accommodate.

Sometimes it's not us who should 'adapt'.

(MFW when learning that "strong sense of justice" was pathologized as a symptom of a disorder by allistics)

Beyond some point even kindness can be a pathology.

There are several treatments. CBT is one, there are some drugs that are given, and of course there is always psychoterapy.

Doesn't matter if those "treat the symptoms", they're still treatments.

Long ago there were probably (horrific) “treatments”. Lobotomy, etc.
