If an ASD cure was made would you use it?

As the title says.

Yes I would!!! I just want to be normal and accepted in the world. Being ASD is tiring and not a lot of fun half the time. My time at school was awful from the start to end because I was singled out for being different, no one wanted to know me because of that difference and it's kind of like it in adulthood as well. I would give anything to change the way I am.

  • I do wish sometimes I didn't have to spend so much time going through things before I do them, as it's exhausting. I do wish I could go into a social situation that I need or want to be in without so much difficulty. However I have now got so used to how I am, I am not sure I would cope with doing so much or enjoy it.

    As someone else said though, I would like others to really understand what it is like and except how we need to do things. I am currently reading some books by Luke Beardom which were recently recommended by someone on here and are finding them very helpful.
