Are you saying we're not aloud to talk about a possible cure? I'm sorry but you don't own this site, you can't impose censure on it's users.

I would rather that someone came up with a cure for the common cold, that would be much more useful !

I would prefer to "cure" the tendency in people to be ignorant and destructive so that people might actually have the desire to educate themselves and help others around them. Many "disabilities" wouldn't NEED curing after that, and perhaps we could all then work together with each individual person's strengths and actually achieve some good in the World. But hey, I am a cynic and an idealist. Makes for much frustration lol

You can stop trolling you know. You create a lot of these pointless threads. It really isn't funny.

What I mean is that a "cure" is a bad thing, at least for me. I don't want someone tampering with my brain. That's just creepy.

bla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla bla
Said someone something about cure? bla blabla blabla bla

The whole cure idea is from people (parents, etc.) who want to make everyone like themselves. The whole idea to change someone is wrong. If they do not kill you, and don't act unethically, why should you change someone, because you think they should be like you?
Unfortunately, many autistics on forums and elsewhere are even conformists (I thought autistic people would know better tbh) who take this idea serious.

I agree. I also think that parents who want to "cure" their children do not really love them. If they did, they would accept them for who they are.

There are people on the spectrum who desire a cure and efforts to try to shame and silence them is no different then how those dreaded NTs would handle the situation. *sarcasm on*

There are 'other' perspectives to this issue beyond your own personal situation.

"cured" is a five letter word, and the pool of possible 5 letter words is not a harbour for a huge amount of successful 5 letter terms (related to autism).
i just think that you should spend your energy directly at your market , and worry about descriptions of it later at night.


who knows?
i am off to bed and i am..........off to bed as i said.

You speak for autistics, interesting. You've no diagnosis yourself.
You maybe don't know it, but autistics are very different from neurotypicals. We are wired completly different, not a bit.
And it's just illogical to say that 'autism' is neurotypical with defects in the brain (what most researchers think, except people like h,k Makrams)

Neurotypicals are making the same mistakes centuries, always discriminating the minority.
It's a symptom of neurotypical syndrome - Conformism.

ALL i need is one child, teen or adult to desire a cure.....AND, I'm at least open to the possibility. There may very well never be one BUT who am i to dictate to those who may or may NOT desire a cure. Why? Because i am a strong believer in choices. One thing THAT i learned in life is THAT your philosophies and attitudes have a way of coming back and hitting you square in the face.

Well, what do you mean TheSunAlsoRises ? The federal and state government could easily institute a plan THAT requires those on the spectrum who get financial resources(outside their own), disability checks, and government aid to work or volunteer. The program in question could be extremely limited in those who would be excluded, as such; giving little to no choice to those required to participate.

Things change especially in an economy where limited resources are available.

* Just an opinion and should be taken as such
