Non-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s like asking what’s wrong with schizophrenia and “why do they want to ‘cure’ it”?
Autism is a spectrum (for now; it’s the best terminology we have at the moment), and at one end you have severe debility. I don’t think a “cure” is possible in the way we think, but better treatment options would be life-saving
I’m some form of neurodivergent myself and have traits that overlap with autism. Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability. I see ways in which we share symptoms, but I also see a huge divide between us, in the severity of them
I would give anything to get the best help for my loved one, because they’ll never be able to have any independence without 24hr care. And that’s what we’re working towards. But if there was some “cure” that would allow them to communicate more… I can’t even describe what a miracle that would be for so many people. It’s a hard thing to see someone go through sometimes, and it can actually be a very big deal
People are marginally more susceptible to distraction from bright lights and loud noises. For young children, this can be upsetting enough to interfere with their education and behavior. And that’s frustrating and terrifying to parents, as they see failures in both as signs of a very difficult adulthood.
So, in the quest to solve this inconvenience, we’re going to open up the infernal gate to Nurgel’s Lair.
What I do not get is, what is wrong with autism and why do they want to ‘cure’ it? Everyone is different. It shouldn’t be a big deal.

Because fascism requires conformity. Cant have any free thinkers questioning the status quo.
I’m looking forward to the start of the eugenics program, it’s all very Aryan of them.
