You can't remove autism from a person. For Autistic people, there is no part of our experience, from thought to action, that is not influenced by being Autistic. If you remove the autism, you remove the person. Assuming that struggling profoundly means a person needs curing is just as flawed as ignoring them in the first place.

Autism Doesn't Need Curing. That doesn't mean it's easy or that people with more complex support needs should be ignored. We need to empower all Autistic people to thrive as their Autistic selves. Accommodate Don't eliminate.
