If you had the choice to keep autism spectrum disorder or remove it completely which would you choose? This would change who you are so I have another question that adds on, let’s say this is a reversible method would you see the difference?

A double answer!:

Hell nah, I like who I am. Autism might be disabling but it also disables living a normal boring life in favor for a an actually interesting one. If normies have a problem with me, that’s a them problem!

I wouldn’t even bother trying if it was reversible. I don’t like that people like Elon think they should make a pill to ‘fix’ autism. I understand helping with the more disabling portions of ASD, but I don’t need to be fixed. I may need help functioning but that doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with me.
