Can you tell me if that autism spectrum disorder is a disease to be cured and done away with or a different way of?

Not cured: But recovery is possible. It matters greatly what the symptoms are and how the person learns to adapt. Watch the hbo movie "temple grandin" to see her story about how she learned to function in society. Many different treatments work for some people and not for others. Every patient with ASD is unique their treatment should be individualized.

No: ASD is a group of separate issues tied together by the need for specialized /individual treatments. Consider it like a permanent change in the wiring of the brain where input and output differ from the normal.The variations are numerous.Assessment tries to identify strengths & weaknesses. Treatments are based on teaching to strong areas & avoiding the weak ones.
