That depends on what Autism is/how we define it.
I think there may be people whose brain works like an autistic brain in that the things that specifically distress autists also distress them. But they are good enough at tolerating distress that they don't actually show the symptoms of autism.
If people like that exist and we don't consider them autistic, then improving someone's ability to deal with distress can indeed reduce or even cure autism.
