To teach others around the Autistic person how to interact with them. Autism isn't a disease, it's a neurological setup (or neurotype), which means it's impossible to 'treat' the same way one would with illnesses. That being said, there are ways to help improve quality of life, including:
Supplying the Autistic person with stim toys and/or noise-cancelling headphones or sunglasses to help with sensory processing difficulties
Not demanding excessive ability in social interaction (letting them not make eye contact, not yelling when they accidentally 'make a face')
See what works best for them and then do that
Basically, just listen to them.
