In this eye-opening episode, Dan from The Aspie World dives into the latest media buzz about an alleged autism cure — and separates fact from fiction. A recently published neuroscience study claimed reduced hyperactivity in mice using sodium blockers, but Dan explains why this doesn't come close to being a true autism treatment or cure.
He discusses how autism and ADHD are often misunderstood in research, the problems with testing on animals, and why articles that promote the idea of an autism cure can be misleading and even harmful. Dan also reminds us that autism has no known cause and no cure — and that's okay. Autism is a neurotype, not a disease to be fixed.
If you’re tired of sensational headlines and want the real story about autism science, this episode will help you stay informed, grounded, and proud of your neurodiversity.
