Synaptic anomalies in autistic people support imbalance hypothesis

Here (as in the article), by imbalance, we are referring to that “between inhibitory and excitatory signals in the brain” (i.e., the imbalance “in the number of excitatory and inhibitory synapses in the prefrontal cortex [that] may affect broader brain function and contribute to some of the cognitive and behavioral traits of autism.”

The interventions I am curious about are (per my question) “targeted” to “modify these synaptic structures to enhance cognitive and social functions.” It’s puzzling to me that you would not only choose to interject the word fix, but also (even more inexplicably) to put it in quotes, as if it were my word choice rather than your own- and finally, to follow it with “It's important to use the correct terms to avoid biased frames and conclusions.” Indeed.
