Those who want an AS cure

Post Reply New Topic

To ever think that their is a cure for Autism has never crossed my mind, to contemplate such notion is hard for me to comprehend.
I am me and I dislike many many things about myself and the way I am , but that is irelevant as I am me, and with one life, it is what it is.
to cure another way of being, I am not sure whether this is possible. Humans come in many ways, shapes and form etc on the autistic spectrum, that's your life and I say deal with it because in reality you have no choice but to be the way you are, unless you have the understanding that you can choose not to be here at all if you wish, but that's none of my business

I only want a cure because I feel that AS is a very isolating condition. I hate it when I read about Aspies having trouble relating or connecting with people. It makes me feel like I'm trapped inside a bubble forever, looking out at the world and observing all the other people having friendships, and there's me unable to do the things I want because I'm forever trapped inside this bubble.

I want to have normal social skills. I know I have got some, but I want more. I know I don't display any obvious Aspie traits like odd movements or an unusual way of interacting, but no matter what I do it frightens me that there will always be something a bit offish about me, but I will never actually be able to describe to anyone, even myself, what it actually is. I don't want to be a person who has to deal with that for the rest of my life.

I am good with using my imagination, and so I often imagine an ''NT version'' of myself and I can picture what I will be like, if I still had the same personality traits but just wasn't afflicted with these Aspie traits and didn't have something offish in my performance.

I think a lot of my problems would be ameliorated if only I had a faster CPU with a body language co-processor.
