I think it's an interesting question to ask, if a cure for Autism were ever created, would you cure yourself?
It's hard for me to decide on whether or not I would cure myself, because there are positives and negatives of having Autism in my opinion.
Positives of my Autism:
Negatives of my Autism:
If my Autism disappeared, I wonder if my personality would completely change.. and if that would be for the better? If I had to give an answer right here right now, I would probably say no to a cure simply because I think I would become unrecognisable personality wise.
I'm happy as I am - I feel (and have measured) that I'm a better human being than most people around me. I don't pre-judge people, I'm super-skilled at everything I touch and I can solve massive problems that seem to be beyond everyone else. Horses and dogs are excellent judges of character and they gravitate to me in preference to others - so I must be doing something right.
For the risk of sometimes being used by unpleasant people, I'm ok with it all.
Yet there would be some people that would read what you just said and pass you off as just being arrogant.
