At present their is no 'cure' for Autism or Asperger's Syndrome. However there are a few treatment that have shown extremely promising results. Firstly, Social Stories for older children permit for some with AS the learn age appropriate responses to situations. For younger children a new DVD series called the 'The Transporters', manufactured in Britain with assistance from the British government has shown that children with Autism and Asperger's especially caught up with their peers as far as emotional understanding in a little over one month with a daily viewing There is very little in the way of support out their for adults with AS unfortunately however there are a few blogs and books that can be of use these include, 'Life with Aspergers' (Blog) and Dr Tony Attwood sites, his personal site Tony Attwood.com and O.A.S.I.S. (Online Aspergers Support and Information Service). Both of which can be found by Google. There has been quite a few so called break-throughs regarding autism, including the now famous vaccine-autism link. It is highly recommended that these 'break-throughs' be regarded with a pinch of salt. At current the neither CDC nor the FDA recognises any medication based cure or treatment for Aspergers Syndrome however drugs like Ritalin may be proscribed for ADHD like behaviours.
