    Its fine to ask, but the answer is “no”. Autism is a blueprint for how the brain gets wired. Its not something a person ‘has’, it’s a defining attribute of consciousness itself - its what a person ‘is’.

    If you had a pill that could rewire someone’s brain, it would kill that person and use their meat as spare parts to build a different person.

      I really like this way of phrasing it. Idk why. It has body horror vibes that I think are fun, but also just feels very accurate.
