If an ASD cure was made would you use it?

Berlusconi

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.

  • No, I see my autism having benefits as well as drawbacks. I would welcome something that is effective, with no adverse effects, in controlling my levels of anxiety, however.

    On the whole, I see autistic people as kinder, more honest, more loyal and less manipulative of others than the average neurotypical. I would not wish to lose these qualities, or have them diluted.
