I'm wondering if anyone at WP knows of a forum that is more focused on coping with (id prefer to say "fixing") the given behavioral diagnoses.
I know my opinions about Aspergers are different than this type of forum so maybe I would belong somewhere else

Be careful of the "cure", it may cause more harm to you than having autism.
To me the idea of curing AS is just as bad as trying to cure a black man of being black ! Both are equally morally wrong and should be clearly horrible to the reasonable man or woman.

I am not a jigsaw, I am a free man ! Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

I'm guessing generic medical/health forums would be more open to discussing options for treatments or cures. I did come across an actual curebby forum but it hasn't been active for over 2 years.
I think here you wouldn't get the results you're after, any mention of treating autism results in just a load of rants about autism speaks. You wouldn't get a positive reaction anyway.
