Stephen Barret MD who is bigoted towards Autistics also describes Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) as "well settled" therapy. A good site on ABA is the following:

It is by Michelle Dawson an Autism rights advocate
Also here is an example I found of a fascist who supports "curing" Autistics:

On The ICL's Ongoing Ablest Bigotry
* This was originally sent as an email to the ICL*
Comrades,
In writing to express concerns about a recent article on homeopathy and other quacks. In Medical Science vs. Homeopathy, in WV. 947 you uncritically site Stephen Barrett of Quackwatch. First of all, Stephen Barrett does expose quacks, however he a die hard anti-Autistic bigot. He support the "Cure Autism" Movement which has the support of outright fascists.
Respected authorities, such as Alfred C. Kinsey and Stephen Jay Gould, have pointed out that the notion of "correct" and "incorrect" genes is unscientific.
This is part of a disturbing trend of ablest bigotry from the ICL. The ICL is currently in a "de facto" bloc with fascists over the lynching of disabled children. Jim Robertson when in Germany once entered a restaurant there and as for a "steak a la Auschwitz" and also addressed ICL members (then the iSt) saying "hiya comrades, heil Hitler". Then their is your notorious "Red Avenger" stunt which involved dressing in Nazi regalia complete with Nazi swastika armbands. The disabled and mentally ill were amoung the first victims of the Holocaust.
There are the constant ablest and psychosiphobic remarks in your paper (schizophrenic, psychotic, demented are often used as insults). I have also noticed you have used words like "retard" which is actually derogatory. You even at one point equated the mentally ill with sociopaths.
Also, I have yet to see a single article dedicated to the rights of the disabled or mentally ill. In issues concerning the disabled such as homelessness, unemployment and healthcare you often manage to go without making a single mention of the disabled and mentally. Or at best you might eke out a fragment of a sentence.
The party also refuses to recruit and purges members with disabilities and mental illness.
I must say I am extremely unimpressed at your unprincipled and opportunist gyrations and suggest that you making an honest accounting of your programmatic overtures. As far as I am concernes you have no business calling yourself a tribune of ALL the oppressed unless you seriously clean up your act.
Trotskyist Greetings,
