My opinion isn't that you can "cure" AS per se, but I think that by training oneself to use the "intuitive" part of the brain one can improve it overtime, since the brain is neuroplastic and functions similar to muscle groups.
(Similar to how why an ectomorph may never be able to gain muscle like a mesomorph, they can still improve with training).
The brain is not a muscle but it behaves as a muscle. Strictly speaking and at the physical level, the brain is an organ, the most important one. However, there are some theories that describe the brain as a muscle in the sense that it can be trained to improve different cognitive functions like working memory or math skills
I think one part of the problem is that AS people spend too much time using the "abstract" style of thinking in day-to-day life, which causes the parts of the brain governing social intuition to be under-developed or under-used.
