As I suspect you already understand well, there is no such thing as a treatment for autism. So, this is actually more like not being willing to stand silently at the side while someone such as Helen Keller might needlessly suffer simply because she could neither see nor hear. My own blindness and deafness presented as inabilities in the areas of social and emotional intelligence, and today I am grateful for the many efforts made by others to help me begin to learn, understand, improvise, adapt and adjust in those particular areas without ever viewing my symptoms as defects of character such as had been driving me to drink my way to the grave.
