Non-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It's like asking what's wrong with schizophrenia and "why do they want to 'cure' it"?

Sure, but there are also types of autism that are nothing like that. A lot of those people like their brain the way it is, and they wouldn't take a cure if there was one. I don't think you can say the same for schizophrenia.

Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability.

I assume you meant "straits". Unless they're being hassled by a bunch of heterosexuals.

Many people would gladly "cure" their "spiciness". Maybe keep the good parts or be able to trigger them at will though.

Many would not, too. That's my point. I know plenty of autistic people who don't view it as a sickness or disability, just a neurodivergence.
