inigo, serious question, if there was a pill that cured autism, and it was given to me, and i asked you for advice, would you tell me to take it or throw it away?

i only ask that question because i'm a bit confused about how you see autism and how it affects me and i just wanted some clarification. like do you think autism probably should not be cured but there are some less desirable elements from the condition that should be fixed with certain treatments? or do you believe that autism can and should be cured and my life would be better if i didn't this neurological syndrome?


i just thought i'd give that question more depth in case you misinterpret my words. which you have done in the past.

and if you say you don't care then i will just scoff. i'll not merely scoff in real life but i'll post the word scoff on here.
 
I would tell you to take the pill.
If Autism could be cured then it should be.

I can't comment on whether or not your life would be better without it, do you think it would be?

At the end of the day if you want to start eating lots of broccoli or broccoli sprouts (sulphoraphane is way higher in the sprouts) to see if it helps with aspects of your condition do it! Maybe take an autism test(?) One day before, then after a month take that same test and see if there is any improvements.... Like your own little experiment. I would be interested in seeing the results tho...

i agree that autism should be cured if it can be. i mean you only have to look at some youtube videos of those on the lower functioning scale to see what kind of prison they are in.

sure there might be some benefits if you are high functioning (very focused) but the social downsides far outweighs any positives imo.

for sure my life would be better without it. i still think i would pursue writing as a career because i am a storyteller at heart. but i believe my life would be better in terms of the personal side of things. like i could go through my teenage/young adult years going to parties or hanging out with friends. being more social, talking to more women and becoming more romantically and sexually experienced instead of being, well....me.

ok, i'll do the experiment. but i'm not sure how much sprout i should take.
 
edited. that was too nice. i can't be nice. that would be the worst thing ever. better to be not nice than nice.

now i'm off to rebel against the system.
 
also, i had a couple of pieces of raw broccoli with me tea. it tasted nice. so i guess this means my little experiment has started.
 
i think he underestimates how much people love their cars, how vast australia is, and the fact that our government is slow to enact change unless it is lining their own pockets.

yes I cannot imagine people giving up cars - I think he hasn't actually thought about the other reasons people may have cars other than to get to work or go shopping.
 
Do you think that you are your autism, or more than your autism? if you are more than your autism then you would still have all your defining things that make you you, like your creativity, whether you have autism or not.
