No.
If there was a drug that would make the callous NTs more sensitive, intelligent, independantly thinking...I'd encourage them to take it.
Eventually then, of course, AS positive traits become the new typical, while the rough insensitive types become a minority.
Yay.

Would I take a pill for my incontinence? Yes.

Would I take a pill for my AS? Not in a million years. I like myself the way that I am, thank you very much.

Would it be permanent or just temporary...if it would be the latter i suppose it would be interesting to try.

The problem I have with a question like this is that I have no idea how it would affect me or what it would mean for me to be nt.

I agree with sweet leaf, if it were temporary, I would swarm over it in seconds,
But if it were permanent, I wouldn't touch it with a stick.

No drug is permanent. Big pharma doesn't work that way. The whole point is having you to consume (buy) more and more.

I'd take the pill if it was like my ADHD meds. They last 4-6 hours and I have to put in some extra work to make sure they work the way I want them too. Then I can have down time from them to learn how bad my ADHD really is when unmedicated.

My temporary cure for autism is alcohol anyway.

I'm surprised the autism pill article hasn't been linked yet.

Here: http://www.boston.com/Boston/dailydose/ ... index.html

Don't get too excited or defensive. It's still years away from being available to the public.

I'm kind of sick of not working and having nothing to say to people. Autism is hard to live with.

No I wouldn't.

I like my Aspergers. I'm smart and my social ackwardness doesn't bother me.

I would like a pill that would make the stupid side of NT's more understanding and emphatetic, more acceptable over differences between different types of people. Luckily most NT's are fine, but there is this moron group amongts them...
