Once the brain is formed, there is little you can do to change it. Even in the years of decline when people believe that you are slowing down and gradually becoming grumpier as you also become senile, evidence has strongly suggested that in the absence of disease, there really isn’t anything the matter with you - the mind you had when you were younger is still pretty much the same mind you have now that you are older.

If you think of autism along those lines, you will understand the meaning of the prognosis on the disorder. Autism has no known cure at this time, so once the disorder is established you had better realize that you are going to be saddled with this patient for the rest of your life - or theirs.

Certain forms of autism, like Asperger’s syndrome, which is classified as high functioning autism, may show remarkable improvements of the symptoms as the patient gradually becomes of age and they can learn to live on their own. Even then, you do have some work to do to ‘teach’ them to be able to function independently; plus, may have to be checking up on them from time to time to ensure that they are getting along.

For those people who insist that there’s cure for autism, they could just be talking about the ability or the techniques and systems of effectively managing the condition. Yes, there are lots of systems and treatments that effectively manage autism to the point where it can be said to be “stable”. If you also say that’s a cure, then it’s up to you. But the truth remains that there’s no “established” and accepted “cure” for autism… YET! But who knows - it just might be a matter of time before some REAL “cure” comes along.
