This is reaching deaf people-levels of sneed over finding cures

'There's nothing wrong with us, this is genocide' signs the deaf person to the doctor.

The doctor covers his mouth with hand and says 'Really?'

The deaf person looks on in confusion BECAUSE THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONAL IMPAIRMENT.

Like legit, as above in this thread, there is this view that neurodivergent people in general are just the 'lol so socially quirky but actually a savant' types, not the 'literally non-verbal, don't touch me, emotional meltdown and physically violent bellowing type'.

Select fun facts about people with autism:

Feel free to explore additional statistics related to adults with autism and just HOW debilitating it can be for most, not to mention their aging parents, their carers and those around them.

Neurodivergent people are diverse and those in the severe categories deserve support and early intervention. Without it they face long-term consequences, among which the worst is posting on /r/drama. However a CURE for autism would be a fricking game changer and a overwhelming boon for society.

Recent research suggests that there :marseycheerup: are different :marseydumbcomparison: types of autism, in the sense that the autism :marseyneko: is caused by different :marseyvenn3: gene groups or some such.

The best solution would :marseywood: be to redefine autism :marseyfediverse: into 3-4 different :marseyvenn3: mental :marseytherapist: illnesses.

Wouldn't an acceptable cure allow them to retain any possible benefits of autism?

Like we wouldn't be able to ethically accept it as a cure if it reduced functioning or worked against the patient's life goals. So you'd basically end up with a guy who is fearsomely socially capable, but also knows everything there is to know about diesel engines. Or a man who is 100% invested in furry vore porn but has enough rizz to get a woman to dress up in a fursuit and climb into a microwave.
