    So far every attempt at finding a "cure" that I know of has been focused on making autistic children behave like neurotypical ones through coercion. There is no wisdom collected from promising or looking for a "cure". Only when we leave the lexical field of medical "disease" we can start finding ways to coexist through making the world accessible for all people including neuroatypical people.

    I agree with you about quickly resorting to labeling, even wrongly, but doesn't it justify dropping overly broad labels like "Asperger"? You mention lack of communication, why can't we just use specific symptomatic labels?
