Autism Speaks doesn't have patients because it is a charity, not a hospital or care home.
Note: Autism Speaks is largely regarded as a hate group by Autistic people and their allies due to the harm they cause to Autistic people via Propaganda they use to increase profits, due to the abusive treatment practices they support, also they support eugenics and genocide through supporting a 'cure'.
Autism Speaks, founded in 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, is the world's largest Autism advocacy organization. Autism Speaks uses a light blue color scheme for most of the organizations media. The blue color scheme is also used for Autism Speaks 'Light It Up Blue' Campaign held on April 2nd of every year with cities around the world changing their lights to a blue color in honor of World Autism Awareness Day. You can find more about Autism Speaks and Light It Up Blue in the related links.
No - no one can 'get rid' of autism. Autism is a neurological difference...the only way to 'get rid' of autism then would be to 'get rid' of a persons brain, which obviously isn't an option. Although autism can be a disability for many it can also be an advantage to many, even if a 2 year old is severely affected by their autism they may improve over time.
