iPlant is an idea of a ’supercharged’ DBS implant that nearly is possible with today’s technology. While the first versions might not affect autism greatly (yet significant benefits would be likely), tuning it up might offer the ability to change the operation of entire brain networks to more closely resemble a NeuroTypical person’s brain. This is definitely the future of brain implants and hopefully, better and happier life for a lot of people! Of course there are obstacles and even dangers on the course but these are quite possible to tackle given enough public/benevolent political demand for iPlant (‘If there’s a will, there’s a way’ is very true here).
