If your aspies was curable, would u cure it?

To a certain extent they could; they will never be what we are but they could learn to do what we do. They could learn to communate with their mouths and ears, if they really wanted to, even though their minds don't work that way; but why would they want to? They are in the majority. It is not their fault that they were born with a neurological deficiency, and if we are not willing to respect them, why should they respect us?

It is who I am, not an affliction.

I didn't say anything about not respecting NTs. I don't think that it's disrespectful to remain non-NT and interact respectfully with NTs but in a non-NT way, any more than it's disrespectful for a Catholic to remain Catholic when living around Protestants or Jews or Muslims or something (while still respecting others' right to have their own religious beliefs that differ from theirs).

To cure or not to cure That is the question. Or better yet. See if you can elevate some symptoms to live life more fully to the potential all humans were created.
GOD uses the natural world. Does he not? If GOD uses the natural world then it stands to reason. That the negative side also uses the natural world also to promote its agenda also.
If this is the case then are we not following and using GOD'S own natural laws. By not availing ourselves of all the natural resources available to us. and thusly DEFYING THE LORDS WORD?
I do not think I will refuse to do the LORDS bidding. Go forth and multiply. does not mean be stupid. where in the WORD does it say not to defend yourself?
If we continue the premise that GOD uses and negatives use them. Quote to me where it says.
We may not do any thing to better ourselves or to live life with all tools available. He also talks of going into the negative side by way of excess.
All the lords children had jobs or ways to feed their kids.

Oh yeah I'm embarrassed with the fact I've got it

No no definitely not.

While it would be nice to get rid of some of the odd drawbacks it wouldn't be worth sacrificing the advantages. I may have difficulty figuring out what to say (sometimes I've been known to restart a sentence halfway through because I figured out a better wording) but I can understand computers extremely well. I went through Web Design class faster then it was being taught (I was once out for a few days and was STILL ahead of most of the class)

To Hell with normal!! !

There was a time when AS wasn't something I wanted. I don't imagine I want it now in the true sense of the word "want". But I accept it and at times although it is a nuiscance, I like it. I wouldn't swap it for so called "normalcy" -- to be yet another neurotypical drone. I mean, what would I be giving up? The happy rush I get from reading about my obsessions? My own personal uniqueness?

If we were cured, would be still be accepted / acceptable to Wrong Planet and others?

I don't wanna be cured.

Yeah, if I'm cured all my problems with social relationships will be gone, peoople will understand me and I will understand them, I will make more friends, I won't be ridiculized anymore, and maybe I would be the perfect girl my parents always wanted I would be.

But, I have some questions:

* Will I have a special talent (for example, my good memory)?

* How will I know I will be myself after the cure? Maybe I'll hate thinks I love now, my way of thinking will change.

* Will my real friends accept the "new Diana"? I have a few friends, less than the number of fingers in one hand. But they are my friends because they accept me as I am now, and I don't wanna lose them because of my changes, I think quality is better than quantity, I won't change my actual friends for a lot of new friends.

* . . . and my questions continue . . .

Maybe I hated my aspieness in the past. But now, I have learned to live with it. Now it's too late for a cure, I conquered some of my weaknesses, that made me stronger.
