There are a lot of therapies that can be helpful for people on the autism spectrum and aren’t harmful. One example might be helping people learn how to get out of “Defense Mode”, as advocated by https://www.aspergerexperts.com (there’s a bit of a sales vibe here since they are a business, but the general perspective has proven very helpful to me as a parent of someone on the spectrum).
It’s true that these same therapies might generally be helpful for all people, but that’s why it’s a spectrum.
