The two can go together. Autism has many components to it. Curing one such as the inability to speak and or sensory integration impairment won't or may not cure everything subjectively to an individual but would assist with quality of life. The right to cure in potential is a human right to research for that potential. This issue is akin to the stem cell research debate and morality. The only difference here is the potential of abortion which is the primary political confrontation. Individuals living have the right to cure research and no one can argue that away.
Well they should certainly continue cure research but I do not think it should be the main goal as it is very possible there is no cure.
I believe autism should be perceived as individual symptoms warranting different treatment with potentials cures for each. Such as non-inclusion manifesting as isolation being a symptom of social disability and perhaps hyper-focusing. This can be treated and
potentially cured with hybrid community inclusion programs. I myself was isolated for many years and not to my exact choice. Though I am dependent upon the system I perceive inclusion programs certainly part of the treatment modality and I think psychological professionals would agree. However the construct of such programs like I am working on where I live need a great deal more inclusion potential and that is done with public relations and social service inclusion models.
My focus strictly is on adaptive inclusion and autism and related developmental disability integration awareness public relations. That is as close to cure "stuff" as I am. Cure simply is not my kind of "stuff" I focus on nor would I imagine my using the word on radio, news and so on.
