    I think classifying yourself can limit your growth potential. Just because you are autistic today doesn’t mean you have to stay that way. You can change yourself, if you want. If not, that’s fine too.

      Autism can’t be “cured” and it’s something people learn to live with not move past. If you know a person who was autistic and don’t seem to be any longer, one of the following things happened.

      1. Therapy helped them learn ways to manage
      2. They learned you aren’t someone safe to be themselves around and mask around you.
      3. All the above.
