If it is 'cured' is, the child is able to think and behave like normal children without special methods and no therapy, well that is impossible. Generally, children with autism could said to be 'cured' if they able to if he is able to live independently (according to age level), normally behave, well socialize and communicate with others and have enough academic knowledge that is appropriate for their age.

In some countries, there are children with autism who then grow up to become an independent and successfully person. We know that not all of the intelligence of these child is low. Some of them have an IQ below average, some have the normal IQ, there is even above average. In America and Europe, some of which are able to achieve Doctorate degree (PhD). To be categorized as successfully 'cured', determine by many factors. Among of them are: the autism levels of severity, age, intelligence level and speak and language ability of the children, supporting facilities such as therapists, doctors, special autism schools, parent readiness in helping to find the best for the children with autism, also well supported in their neighborhood.
