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.
Yes, some aspects of it. I don’t want to romanticise my autism but whilst I accept “curing” aspects of it would change my personality but these aspects have caused me pain and bullying all my life. I don’t want to fit it but I feel that changing some of my traits would help me to stand up to bullies.
