Looking for others that want treatment, even just a little

If you want treatment, there are a few options...

The use of the "even just a little" clause makes this thread title seem sort of complaining or adopting a rhetorical stance of being pitiful. This seems odd to me.

The main clause also seems oddly vague. Treatment for what?

These boards are full of people looking for ways to deal with one thing and another. All of the things people recommend amount to some kind of treatment, but I think this is supposed to be about something more specific.

In the face of this vagueness, my inference is that autism is the thing to be treated and the pitiful/pleading second clause is meant to be a complaint against anti-cure sentiment. I am not terribly confident in that interpretation, but if that's not what this is about, then I don't know what it is about.

If this is a call for treatment for symptoms of autism, then I think it's way off base to present itself in this pitiful "let's have a secret conversation by PM about this forbidden topic" kind of way. All kinds of people on WP talk about ways to cope with problems related to specific autistic traits all the time. There are many discussions like this--How can I have relationship? How can I get a job? How can I have a better relationship? How can I keep a job? Is there anything I can do to get along with people better? How can I deal with social anxiety?

Unless by "treatment" you mean some weird fantasy about a surgical or pharmaceutical intervention that will somehow radically restructure a person's entire central nervous system, there are constant discussions here about treatment.

Sounds like op wants to experiment on people lol

Did not think of that!

It would be a great premise for a horror story, though!

I want treatment on my terms, but I don't want a cure, nor do I want treatment given on someone else's terms.

Lol must be just be who thought that first then...

Well, a lot of students and psychologists are probably interested in us
