A doctor in ancient Greece had a cure for autism? That left the man alive and sane enough to say he missed it? Probably lost with the Library of Alexandria. Centuries of cruelty follow....

(Obviously the man should have been the one to decide if he wanted to be "cured" or not!)

The cure was likely "Beatings", and what was cured was probably "going down to the docks"

I was hoping for something more like The Bursar's Dried Frog Pills
