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 would not want a cure for my condition but more help/support to educate others around the world to understand it more without judgement.
Yes, we can end up being on medication due to some co-morbid conditions (Stress, Anxiety, Depression) but they are only to help us cope with the Neuro Typicals.
Like I'm done with Christmas Cards, we are expected to act/think/etc as others expect but cannot keep it up thus adding more pressure on ourselves because as I was told "it is our perception that is wrong".
So, the world needs to stop "Talking the Talk" about Diversity/Equality/Inclusion and become a fairer place for everyone to be able to live how they want and do what they do best (their strengths) by "Walking the Walk".
