Has anybody heard of an autistic person losing there autism due to an event e.g. bang to the head, electrocution, trauma.
Or vice versa NT developes autism due to some event. |

| No I havent because from birth you either have it or you don't. I don't think banging your head on something would make it go away but only make it worse with brain damage. An NT may delevop some traits of autism like anxiety, or depression but never would be autistic. |

| I'm sure if you hit your head hard enough you'd lose your Autism (among other things). |

Why lose it? It is part of who you are.
In saying that tho I would never want to be on the spectrum. |

Yes, they tend to be very quiet and anti-social. |

I have heard about kids recovering from it meaning they outgrew it. There has been news articles about it.

Well that makes sense, because it's not part of who you are.

| You can get on a higher functioning level with a lot of therapy, or just enough practice "blending". But low functioning or high functioning, you'll always be autistic. |
