I agree (I would never make that claim, other autists may feel differently) , and do think there should be better support systems. Some individuals may need treatment because they have meltdowns / anti anxiety w/e but I don't think this should be framed as 'treating' or 'curing' autism. Autistic individuals may have all sorts of difficulties in their lives that need to be addressed, but the solution isn't to make those individuals not autistic. When we talk about struggles that minorities and people of color face in American society today, you don't say let's 'treat' or 'cure' blackness -- I don't even need to explain why that's an affront.
