Do "Autism" really need to be solved? Cured? Eradicated?

Make them to have high function and gain independence? Sure.

Make them into neurotypical? That sound like mind control.

Or just cure the disease at the core.

Acting like autism is different than schizophrenia because some of the people with it can achieve basic things is wild.

No.

I would not give myself a disability.
