It correlates to physically measurable brain differences, autism is considered heterogenous for a reason and has no single cause.
Given autistics don’t even seem to have the same symptoms, severity of symptoms, or etiologies, and opinions on what treatment even constitutes, I also hesitate to make any strong statements about what may or may not be effective medical treatment for them. There’s a reason Americans research on autism has to use RDOC domains which at least gives some insight into specific symptoms and their severity so hopefully this heterogeneity problem which results in really bad treatment options and guidance for autistic patients will get better.
