I notice with these threads either they tend to end up mostly yes or mostly no, often the same people even giving different answers. And of course always at least someone who thinks that those who wouldn't cure autism are just really high functioning.
Functioning level doesn't affect the answer. I at least struggle a lot in many areas.
What affects the answer is how you view autism. I view it as an essential, base wiring that you build off of. If you change the foundation and layout a house cannot be the same house.
I also view it in terms of the NT having a flexible build that can easily fill up gaps where they need to but cannot build anything new, while autistic people have a specialized build that follows a specific role.I strongly believe both (And others) are needed, and if society built itself around supporting all types of people then being autistic would be far less disabling.
My own response remains the same on all threads, but my guess is for others it depends a lot on how they are doing during that time. This time of year, around the holidays, tends to be harder.
