Autism is a demon for me.

Some people don't see their autism that way. Good on them. I'm not one of those people. I grow tired of limited fixations, motivation issues, wandering interests, lacking tact, and coming off (as one person uncharitably said) "an arrogant inconsiderate jerk".

I would accept a cure for those things.

Wanting a cure or wanting to be cured is not bad. What is bad is involuntarily curing others of autism. That is the real issue imo.

@Elizafox What is also bad is not considering some autistic people might really consider theirs as a pure disability, or as you said, a demon.

This push for "autism is an ability not a disability" is really harmful for those of us severely impacted by it

@esp @Elizafox It's a disability. It doesn't need a cure, it just needs some glasses.
