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.

  • No I wouldn’t as I haven’t anything to be cured, and I don’t want my mind to be that of a person I can’t identify with and who isn’t me. Of course there are aspects of me that mean I have struggled where non autistic people haven’t. But I have attributes that some non autistic people are envious of eg, the ability to focus on specific interests.
