there has been a lot of talk about needing to find a cure for autism. But the question is; do people with AS want to be cured, and is it a good thing? It has been said that AS is the next stage in evolution, and some of the smartest, most succesful people have had it. And how many Aspies even want to be NT? I don't.
I don't think it's possible to "cure" autism. It's more of a birth defect/variation, not a sickness. All you can do is learn to deal with some of the symptoms, if you choose to do so. I think that personal acceptance is the first step toward happiness. At least that has been my experience.
