I think low function autism should be cure because it cost society 3.2 million dollars take care of each LFA person.
So... a person's life and identity are worth less if they cost more. Good to know. By the same rationale, the second you cost anybody even a cent more than the average NT, you became worth less than the average NT. Re-think that before you start putting dollar values on human life. Triage is all well and good when you're forced into it by limited resources, but let's not embrace it as a fundamental principle determining who has the right to keep their brains, identities, and personalities intact.

I also think AS should be just be a social disorder because people with AS are more aware of social situations Than people low function autism.
Yes, people with AS are often more aware of social situations. (Not always, mind you. Some people who are extremely autistic are also extremely perceptive.) But AS is not just a social disorder. For many people with AS, the social parts are the least severe and least disabling.

I don't. I hope for acceptance and full integration in 20-30 years.

NVLD should be study more because people with an NVLD always are mis dx with AS.
NVLD may or may not be something we can include under the umbrella of autism spectrum disorders. I say that because autism itself is so very diverse that NVLD may be only one of many ways it can express itself. Yes--let's study NVLD. Let's also study autistic catatonia, regression, face-blindness, sensory hypersensitivity, repetitive movement disorder, selective mutism, and speech/language disorders. Let's study all that stuff--we need to know more. Stop researching how to make us vanish; start researching how to teach us and how to make a world where we can live side-by-side with NTs.
