ok as much as i really hate to defend anything about this book in any way i reread ascension and
gillian's autusim was never stated as what type she had but at the end of ascension it is stated on page 294
Quoteing somewhat from the book about gillian
"the mere fact that she grumbled and complained rather than mutely obeying was further evedence of how much she had changed.."
also kahlee had commented to hendle on how much improvment gillian had shown , and shard her theory that the suit might make the girl feel psychologically safe and more confident. hendel however had offered a difrent theory ....
" I think she's just getting better because cerberus isent drugging her anymore ."
the though was so disturbing , but kahlee was suprised she hadnt come up with it on her own. it was doubtful gillians condition could be blamed solely on what ever chemical concoctions jiro had been feeding her but it was possible they had made her symtoms worse somehow that knowledge made what grayson had alowed them to do to his daughter even more monstrous...
while this dosent explain her growing out of it if can explain her condition improving quite a bit....
It's difference between getting better and cure from something. Autism can't by cured, you can only weaken some of symptoms. Gillian in
Deception have no symptoms - he hugging people, plotting, eating in public restaurant, had no day regime and so on.
