The way it looks now Autism isn't curable, sort of like schizophrenia, but an even deeper ingrained part the person. As far as i understand even if we could, "cutting" it out or modifying it would change the personality drastically. Its very manageable though, and depending on where on the spectrum you are there still a chance for a completely normal life. I think the stigma is strong because the people that are "highly functional" enough to hide it, will. No one at my workplace knows that i have it and just think im a tad weird. I think i prefer not to tell anyone since it might make colleagues doubt my performance and abilities, or make it harder for me getting job next time.
