But here is the problem. If I am understanding autism at all, in order to truly cure iy, it would have to be done sometime early in brain development, way before she was 18 and could decide for herself. This brings up yet another issue. Are people with autism capable of making their own decisions? We are talking about a problem with the mind here. What if “curing” your daughter were the only way to bring her to a state of mind where she could make her own decisions?
Autism doesn’t render someone incapable of making their own decisions, it’s a spectrum. There are many autistic people smarter than you or I who are more than capable of making decisions.
