3. I have Asperger's Syndrome and I don't want a cure...
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 01:13 AM by samwisefoxburr
...and even if there was a cure, how would I act after I had it? Would I lose interest in computers (which is my special interest)? Would I get depressed if I'm alone instead of enjoying being alone?

Frankly, I don't think it is possible to make a cure for Asperger's and Autism. And after living for years and years with Autism and having to deal with social situations, would I really learn how to socialize better with just a cure? I don't think so.

I also do fine in social situations, thank you very much.
