Yeah, you've certainly cured yourself of yammering on and on and on about your personal obsessive interest.
Glad to hear your motor skills are improving and all that, but that's not really what AS is about.
When are you going to wake up to the fact that you cannot cure yourself of autism and if you think you have, you're delusional. Just because you think you don't seem odd anymore, doesn't mean the rest of the world can't still clearly see your eccentric behaviors.
I continue to go on about it because of how much this has helped in every area of ASD. I'm not lying, it's not a hoax. I hope it helps others.
I'm very well aware that AS is about a lot more than motor skills, and as I've stated, virtually all symptoms have been reduced to near zero and it's truly changing my entire life.
when are you going to accept the possibility that it can be cured? If it's of the same cause, that is. I'm not delusional, I'm living it. It's not me that doesn't think I seem odd anymore, it's everyone around me and their feedback. You're not around me and haven't had a chance to observe me, but if you're anywhere nearby I'd gladly meet with you and you can assess me for yourself.
It's definitely helped me. I used to be considered moderate functioning. Now, some people doubt I even have Asperger's. When I was twelve a psychiatrist I visited was skeptical about my diagnosis. I was quite a bit worse back then.

It's interesting that the main opposition to treatment or a cure seems to be fear of the unknown and assuming that an effective treatment or cure would add a different set of big scary problems to deal with.
Ironically, the point of a treatment or cure would be to remove the negative effects of having Autism and make people much more on par with the NT world all around them, which would mean that social interactions and a myriad of other things would become natural, intuitive & fluid vs. being a whole new set of problems and challenges to overcome.

It is a realistic fear. How many times have we seen wonder drugs, food etc have unintended side effects? How many times have we seen these effects denied by authorities, the ones claiming bad effects called crackpots, only to find out "loony's" were right?.
I suppose it's a realistic fear to have of pharmaceutical drugs, especially given the long list of potential side effects most of them come with, including suicidal thoughts and/or death.
But I say this as someone who's utilized natural treatments & diet to greatly reduce my symptoms without having any negative side effects, so my perspective is significantly different.

I agree. You're obsessing over your 'success' reminds me of the time between Late 2009 and 2011 when I was going on about how I got my life back on track and I can't believe how decent I look, and I've got a great role model that I look like a younger version of and I like the 60s again.
I know that type of behaviour, because I used to engage in it. I'm sure the above poster knows what I'm talking about.
