To me, a crying baby doesn't sound immediately, horribly upsetting like it does for NT women. The realization that this means a baby is hurt is upsetting enough for me to want to fix it, but the sound itself is kind of meh. I'm spared annoyance. Cure me, you make this annoying.

I can spend long periods of time alone without feeling lonely. Cure me, you make me needy.

I can have special interests. This is such a wonderful experience, I can't imagine life without it. Cure me, you destroy this.

But that's not really what you're talking about when you talk about therapy. Therapy is a way of working with you as you are to improve your skills; a cure would completely change you into a totally different being. If it involves teaching, it's not a cure. If you process the world the same way afterward, it's not a cure. If you still have the good parts afterward, it's not a cure.

I don't get the video. So the child was a NT, right up until he had an injection, then he turned Autistic and never looked back. How can an injection suddenly wire up your brain suddenly like that? I'm not having another injection.

And I am one Aspie who wants to be cured. I know there isn't a cure, but I still wish I was born NT. I'll rather not have special interests (because of the amount of friends I've lost because of the excessive talking about obsessions), I'll rather not have sensitive hearing (because it makes me feel stupid), I'll rather not hold a grumpy or plain face all the time when I'm walking through public (because of the amount of people who seem to glare at me), and I'll rather not have uncontrollable angry meltdowns (because of the amount of stress I cause my family). I don't want to be unique. I want to be like everyone else. There are too many NTs in this world, and it's a horrible way to live when you know you're always going to be different. If there were 50 percent of NTs and 50 percent of Aspies, then I wouldn't mind. But when a NT is the average person, then it sucks.
