The same can be said for many neurodivergent "disorders" like ADHD and OCD and Depression. Though I would point out that many of these disorders could easily be recategorized as traits and everyone has some number of traits regardless of if you are seen as neurotypical or not. I would argue that "treatment" is a modification of traits such that we fit a mold in modern society and not necessarily to make us better for our own sake but for the sake of those around us that don't understand how our brains work.
I medicate to make myself less of an inconvenience for you. Not necessarily to make my life better for me.
Not the case for all neurodivergents but I know a lot who share the sentiment.
Got to say, I don't really understand. But words ending with the -demic morpheme aren't used lightly where I'm from and still mean what they do. I assume that's what's going on in this comment.

Epidemic? That means it's a contagious disease, how do I spread my autism to others? By biting them? (If you ask: I consider some vampires "autism-coded", and I might be making a game with even more autism coded vampires)
Uranus is still there even if no one can see it.
