Hello Tessa. I think this needs some clarification between what "is" autism, what "causes" autism and what "caused" autism. The statement in your post, "“autism” often stems from undiagnosed and unnoticed infections in the brain or the CNS" is what "caused autism." What "is" autism seems to be unclear, or perhaps missing.
Hello Tessa. I think this needs some clarification between what "is" autism, what "causes" autism and what "caused" autism.

Autism is clearly a brain or CNS dysfunction (processing), a dysfunctional (damaged) brain or CNS. It could be one or both depending on the case. Medically, autism is a spectrum - although medically, autism is only diagnosed when the condition is severe, when it requires medical attention. This is true of most, perhaps all diseases, from the common cold to cancers.
The status of autism is the "present cause." If that status is changed favorably, such that medical attention is no longer required, an event more likely to occur in less severe cases, the autism is cured - although our medical systems have no definition of and no test for autism cured. In severe cases, there can be many dysfunctions, many damaged locations - and partial cures may be possible and necessary for a complete cure. Severe damage might also be "partly cured." Our medical systems have no theory of cure, and therefore no theory of "partial cure" and thus can not recognize, much less document such cases.
When most people speak about autism causes, they speak about "past causes" not "present causes." Past causes include inflammation and damage due to inflammation, which can be caused by many things, including vaccines. However, past causes can only be used to design preventative actions, they cannot be used to cure unless the cause is also present (gut biome problems).
Modern medicine has no concept of "present causes" of "cure causes." A present cause is one that, when successfully addressed, results in a cure.
Present causes of autism can be attributes or processes - the damage caused, or something that is continuing to cause damage or dysfunction. Brain damage from inflammation is an attribute cause. Gut microbiota is a process cause. It is ongoing. When the autism (or a portion of an autism state or diagnosis) is "being caused" by a faulty gut microbiota, then when the microbiota cause is addressed the autism it caused will be cured. Of course any permanent damage will not be cured, although addressing the ongoing cause might facilitate healing.
There are two types of present causes - and two types of cures, two types of actions to address them. If the cause is simply damage - then brain cures can be difficult or even impossible. If the cause is, as you mention, a parasite - it may be sufficient to eliminate the parasite, a one-time cure. However, causes that cannot be eliminated may require ongoing curative actions. We consume Vitamin C after curing scurvy to "maintain the cure". A dietary change, like elimination of sugar - is also a process cure, one that must be maintained to maintain the cured status. If essential oils alleviate the pressure of an autism case, they might become necessary on an ongoing bases, an ongoing or process. cure.
Because the definition of autism is so broad, autism is not "one thing." We need different cures for different cases. In addition, every different present cause might be cured by many different actions; as James Lind noted - there are many cures for scurvy - even though the definition of the cause of scurvy is trivial. Depending on the present cause, what provides a complete cure in one case might only provide a partial cure in a different case, and no cure at all in another. A curative action against the gut microbiome will not be successful unless that is one of the causes.
We should expect mild cases to be easier to cure and more severe cases to require more than one cure and perhaps more ongoing or process cures. However, whether the case is minor or severe, simple or complex, and whether the cure action is trivial or requires difficult ongoing actions - modern medicine has no definition of "autism cured" and cannot recognize any cures - whether they be partial or complete. Doctors who claim cures are quacks - it makes no difference if a cure is present or not.
