Is it possible to cure Aspergers?

Is there a pill to cure Aspergers????????

In my view, having Aspergers is probably one of the worst things to have happen to me in this world. when I smoke marijuana i feel like all my stress and anxiety is lifted off of me and i can live freely. It's like once I use it there is a whole other world that I couldn't see until than. I see this "disease" or "syndrome" is nothing more than a disability than a gift and I want to be cured.

In conclusion, does any anti-depressants or ADHD medication (I also have ADHD) work for a Person with Aspergers to view the world as a normal person would view the world????


Please don't say there isn't any cure that is BS. Because when I used Marijuana I did not fell as if I have it at the time. Meaning in my opinion Marijuana is the cure for Aspergers ADHD.

I really like weed, but if I'm already feeling stress and anxiety over something weed tends to make it even worse. Depends on the person I guess.

Cure? Jah only knows.

If I told you there was a cure, I'd be a liar. You will not see the world the way an NT does, but even they don't all see things the same. It can be hard, but it doesn't have to be a curse.

There are meds and therapies to help with your symptoms, though, and I think maybe that is more what you need to look at. Antidepressants could help with the depression, ADHD meds for that, anxiety meds for anxiety, plus therapies like cognitive based therapy (the talking cure), socials skills classes. There may be therapies or stress reducers to help with sensory issues. There are physical things like exercise, healthy eating, adequate sleep, yoga, meditation, doing things you like, music.

Try not to go at the whole big diagnosis: cure Aspergers. That's too big and overwhelming. Try to break it down into smaller problems, like what specific things make you anxious or depressed, and what can be done to tackle them. Who can be enlisted as allies? Family, friends, therapists, etc.

I'm not morally against using marijuana (I don't see it as that big a deal), but be careful of what it does to your mood. I couldn't use it because while it made me feel good for a while, I would crash big time and go into a bad meltdown. If you are on prescription meds and they aren't working, ask your psychiatrist to tinker with them. Different meds work for different people.

I agree with GodzillaWoman, but I will also add that taking care of your health...diet/exercise/etc....can also help. When you aren't feeling 100% you don't cope as well, plain and simple. I've known quite a few people on the spectrum that have underlying immune deficiencies which can make being an Aspie in an NT world much much harder!

The medical consensus is that there is NO cure for autism. If you believe otherwise, you are deluded and there is no point in conversing with you further.

The following websites claim there is a cure...

Technically, Asperger syndrome doesn't exist anymore, so congrats you are cured!
It is called ASD level 1 now.

This isn't a cure, but a surprisingly effective treatment that I've tried

Nope. You're both with it. It's not a disease you contract or develop in early childhood, it's genetics and imprinted in your DNA.

It's possible to ease the symptoms I'm sure, and it's more possible to withdraw the effects by experience - as in, learning what is socially alright and that which is not. So in theory you can "cure" yourself, except when you can't. It makes sense.

i wish i could get access to weed.. but no friends.. no connections.
seems like a catch 22.

If you really want to look into health-based "cures" google Jack Kruse autism and go check out what he has to say. But no there's no cure for being born a female, being born with two legs, being born with a big nose, being born with blue eyes, being born with part of your foot missing, being born with a cleft palate, being born with autism / aspergers.... these are all physical features of a human being, and a feature can't be "cured".

It can be modified, worked with, etc. which is what you're doing by adding in marijuana.

I find that marijuana makes me want to stay more isolated, and socialize even less.

for me, it is the opposite of an asperger's work-around.

I'd have thought they would have found a cure for mild cases of Asperger's by now. A lot of my brain does function normally, but I just need something to make me be able to make friends better. I have a lot of the social skills that most Aspies lack, but I still don't make friends that easily. I just need a cure for that part of my brain.

There's no "cure" for Asperger's--but it could certainly be managed through treatment--whether medical, psychological, or personal
