When I was a kid, I had severe signs of autism, e.g., shaking my hands and legs, opening my mouth, and making sounds uncontrollably when excited, hypermemory, inability to make friends, and weird obsessions
Instead of treating me like a special-needs kid or taking me to a psychologist or psychiatrist, my parents forced me to make friends and play sports and forbade weird behavior
The autism tendencies disappeared
Parents treat their kids like princesses and underestimate their neuroplasticity
