If there was a "cure" to autism/aspergers would u?

Post Reply New Topic

It's all up to the Aspie to decide whether Asperger's is bad for them or not. Some believe it is simply a difference for them and embrace this difference. Others dislike the difference and believe it disables them from having a normal social life. I, personally, am one who dislikes this difference.

Even though I am not officially diagnosed, I believe I would be diagnosed in a pinch if I were to see a shrink. I don't like this disability at all, especially since it strongly impairs my ability to be social. Even if it would change my personality, I really don't have one to begin with, so this cure would be perfect for me. I'd love to have a normal social life like an NT, have a consistent group of friends like an NT, have relationships like an NT, be non-awkward like (most) NT's.

I only strongly suspect I have AS or Autism (Aspie score 161 of 200), but I don't think I would want a cure except for the depression and anxiety.

I don't understand how NT females enjoy their lives. I don't understand the fashion and materialistic obsessions. Why wouldn't more people enjoy creating art and music? I just can't imagine being any other way than how I am.

If there was ever a cure I'd point blank refuse to have it as far as I'm conserned I was born the way I am and I'd hate to be removed of what makes me well....me.

Nope. Only if I had severe difficulties.

daveydino, you list yourself as an NT in your profile. Why did you join WP?
I wish you wouldn't insult people here, even if you just think you're being funny. It's my suspicion that you're looking for attention, even if it's negative.

Why would I want a 'cure'? I'm happy the way I am.
