Would You Want To Cure Your Autism?

from Aspergers and Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] · host Aspergers and Autism Talk

Here is the big question I guess everyone always wants to ask you. Would you cure your autism if you could? It is an interesting question and one of many variables. But the underlying question is simple. Would you want to cure all your autism traits the good and the bad? Researchers at Harvard and MIT have been isolating brain cells that are linked to autism genes to identify where autism occurs in the brain. They said they can identify unique genes now that cause autism in a person, which could lead to better treatment to it. Eventually the idea of this type of research is to be able to 'cure' autism. But this is a difficult thing to know if it is good or bad, as you have a spectrum of people with autism. Some have high support needs and would probably opt for a more manageable life if they could, where as the more lower support needs autistic people just need support and enjoy their brains. I want to know your thoughts on this! HASHTAGS: #autism #autismcurable #autismspectrumdisorder LINKS: https://neurosciencenews.com/autism-genes-brain-development-20003/
