    No there isn't you idiot and autism is not a disease it's a disorder

    As of right now there is not. I'm willing to bet that drug companies are busy trying to engineer ideas for it but such drugs take years of bioengineering and trial before hitting the market- an average of ten years or more.

    As of right now autism is usually treated with behavioral, cognitive, occupational and speech therapy depending on the individual.

    These therapies are more to help those with autism function in society but it doesn't "cure" them. They are the way that they are. Hope that helps

    Highly unlikely. More likely is gene therapy, since the evidence is mounting that autism is genetic. However, that is years away, since the genes involved haven't even been identified yet.

    It depends on the cause, if your definition of Autism is it's textbook variety where a genetic defect is the cause then no, not yet at least (they are testing the ability for viruses to permanently alter DNA as a way of curing certain diseases by making a virus which replaces the defective gene with one that functions normally.

    If you mean Autism as a more generic series of conditions then it would depend on their cause, many people may exhibit a variety of mental or physical problems due to metal poisoning or vitamin/mineral deficiency and these things can be treated so a person could recover from such issues (assuming they are not irreparable disorders like death of muscle tissue)

    there have been reports of success with various things, chelation therapy and cannabis oil among them.

    Allegedly there is no "cure" however you should explore eastern medicine which can cure a substantial amount of "incurable" ailments.

    It's POSSIBLE. We're just nowhere near that. In the next hundred years. But by then, we'll likely have addressed the cause of autism and prevented most cases.
