You did not read the article? It says that the detriments of autism while leaving the benefits, which are none if you have full autism instead of something like Asperger's syndrome.

There was a recent NYT article about this, and the answer is yes but it is very unclear what differentiates curable from incurable autism (like every aspect of the disorder).

one time I asked a autistic kid in my class "how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?"

3 class blocks later he randomly started crying and flipping his shit

apparently because he had been thinking about it for the past three hours and couldn't figure it out

Yes, a small fraction of autistic children eventually lose their autism. There are various studies that show behavioral therapy can be successful in making some children less autistic, and in very rare cases it can even eliminate autism. And their are autistic children who grow out of autism even without behavioral therapy.
