No, the CDR is a phenomenon that appears to be a major contributor in numerous detrimental conditions should it become stuck. This includes conditions like insulin resistance and generalized anxiety disorder. We now have evidence that the symptoms that make up “autism” are merely one of the possible results of CDR becoming stuck. Small doses of suramin reset the cellular danger response, allowing them to function normally again. To generalize, it’s as if the body’s cells are stuck in a perpetual panic attack as if they are in danger, even if they are not. This is not a “difference in function” it is a malfunction.

As a dinosaur who also has autism, I don’t think this would do anything for me and I’m not sure I would want to if it could. But nobody is trying to force it on me or you, and depriving others of the ability to choose for themselves is no less monstrous. Acceptance of neurodiversity and treatment of treatable conditions are not mutually exclusive endeavors. So please do better and make your own decisions for yourself while staying out of other peoples lives as they make their own decisions for themselves.
