Transforming is a strange choice of words. It seems that transforming allistism would never be thought of because it’s not desirable or even possible. But, because autistic people are often lacking appropriate resources and having agency it appears the answer is to transform the autist. This is an unfortunate way to approach people especially children. When you say it’s the expectation that brings desirable change is it more the resources and agency are provided for the child than expectations. Parents are less stressed when their children have the appropriate resources and their agency is protected.
