quick google...

is it Transcranial magnetic stimulation?


Watched a documentry that included this called "My Beautiful Broken Brain" , nothing to do with ASD though.

I've always thought that ECT is the treatment that would fix me but my GF won't let me do it. Mind you when I used to get lots of headaches I thought drilling through my skull to release the pressure would help - never had the balls to do it.

To answer your question, no. Some have made “improvements” in speech, social skills, cognative function, focusing, motor skills etc. while under going various “treatments” (some experimental , controversial, and even dangerous) i.e. Rx drugs, changes in diet, vitamin regimines, detoxes, ABA and other like therapies, chelation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy… the list goes on and on. However, I’ve yet to hear of a case of anyone “cured” of Autism. I work in the medical field and in special education.

I think I'll keep having my fun. I'd rather stay young and have fun than "recover" from my autism.

I'm sure this was concocted by the poster and that he's not going through any experimental treatment. There's probably some point he wants to make after he makes "the big reveal." Whatever.

The OP is a fanatical anti-neurodiversity troll who keeps opening sock puppet accounts on Wrong Planet. I think we have indulged this multi-troll enough.
