On The Cure: What It Really Comes Down To

Post Reply New Topic

There's so much back and forth on whether to cure it. Curebies think of autism as just a disease, and don't think of any talents or abilities associated with autism to be "the autism" even if they know autism increases the chance of it.

"Disease" means "dis-ease", so autism is a disease, at least the disease parts of autism are a disease.
It comes down to can the disease part be cured without sacrificing the abilities?

I suspect that it can not. Science shows we keep more information. So we're going through more information. The more information the brain sifts through the longer it will take to effectively learn how to ignore irrelevant information in making decisions, but at the same time information that is relevant to the individual that would've typically been thrown out by an NT brain before rising to consciousness can help in producing novel information processing.

But if I'm wrong and they can cure the disease part without the good parts I'd be for it.

I would think a mind that was working off of defence mechanisms or reshaped or degraded memory would not be able to ask or answer the question anyway.

Rather than a true person. What ever autism is about. Based on all the information of what Dr. Eric Schopler video actually shows. Since that was not me, yet they defined me with a autism so called label, then they now want to removed AS. Does not sound like they doing good, sound trusting evidence gathering.

Kinda like life one side says one thing & the other sides says another. Only someone with the sound mind would be able to think about both & pick the right one. Might make a mistake, but your willing to exam it more to find out if it has a shred of truth in it.

They is different types of autism they say. So that must mean they is different ways of causing it. One female in a video says one personality is autism. What ever the autism means in the first place.

Autism has given me some gifts. it is not all bad. I still want a cure.

I wouldn't take the cure if I was payed one million dollars to do so. I'm that proud of my autism. I guess that some people would say that I'm a Pride Mite.
