I definitely used to feel that way. I figured being NT meant being a bully, and I didn't want to be like that. Then my NT mother started challenging my negative views of NTs, and I also met some autistic bullies, and I realized being a crappy person doesn't have much to do with being autistic or NT.
I still wouldn't want a cure, because I'd no longer be me. But I don't think autistics are better than NTs anymore.
Good for you.
