Autism was always an issue amongst our countries, I feel like they have to work harder on a way to cure it.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Bimps · 2015-07-21 05:05:01

i guess but idk you still cannot cure it sadly

BEE · 2015-07-21 06:40:19

No, you can't cure it. The best you can get to is "managing" it, like any other disorders (anxiety, depression, etc). Early intervention tends to have the most impact on a child's with autism's life.

depression and anxiety are in different categories, those are imbalances of hormones while autism is an imbalance of chromosomes. Difference being, you can't take drugs to replace the missing chromosome, depression and anxiety can be managed.

I enjoy dreaming awake, because I can get free from my problems for a little. I just can't think in public, because I have a feeling someone is reading my mind and will think I'm weird.

EDIT: Oh nice, you were redirecting this topic right to me, not?

I disagree. Autism isn't an imbalance of chromosomes, It's an imbalance of hormones, they have way higher amount of hormones than us.

Jaba is correct, the causes are most likely different, but if you want to get technical, they don't actually know the causes of autism yet. (If you want to get even more technical, they actually don't know the real reason for anxiety and depression either, nor why antidepressants tend to help both. Theories, yes. Proof, no. In case you are curious, the answer is not "hormones" though, because if it were hormones, depression and anxiety would be curable with birth control and other hormonal drug therapies.)

It was more of a parallel than an equivalency.

Autism is indeed manageable, though mostly at the more mild end of the spectrum. What used to be called aspergers is definitely something that one can go to therapy to learn different strategies to learn to lead a happier life than without therapy. Unfortunately, there is only so much one can do for debilitating autism.

What you described sounds more like social anxiety or something related than autism.
