In some cases depending on the severity of symptoms Autism must be treated as a disease (or even several interacting diseases). However many cases of Autism can be treated simply by teaching better coping strategies. In a few cases they may not currently have symptoms that require treating it as a disease, but such symptoms may develop later in life.
