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 am still getting my head around how ASD effects me, but I think even at this point, I would much rather be ASD than NT. The more I read about NT brains the more glad I am that I'm not like that.
I think I agree with you Nope. I’m not sure what is my personality and what is down to autism. I cannot blame autism for bad behaviour, for instance, and not everybody can be popular or even liked. So if someone has something against me it’s because our two characters don’t gel. Sometimes I have to meet people half way. Compromise for peace. If they won’t meet me half way, then it’s not important and I have to move on. I cannot seriously blame autism for my car crash previous life. Maybe I could have fared better if others had understood my confusion etc. But I can’t blame autism for my behaviour. That’s down to me. Now I understand why it is a lot easier.
