I've never read of exorcism curing anyone of autism, and…
““I've never read of exorcism curing anyone of autism, and according to what I've read about real exorcisms as stated by Roman Catholic Exorcists in books and articles, the worst thing that will happen if a non-possessed person undergoes an exorcism (aside from psychological trauma) is...nothing. Thus if an autistic person comes out of an exorcism un-traumatized, but with no discernible change in presentation of autism, it means either that their exorcist was inept, the exorcism failed, or the victim was never possessed in the first place.””
