I wouldnt want a cure and my mom says i should get treated. she plans to send me to ths school for the summer for autistic people to teach them to be independent. I think thats all fine and dandy ,but it won't really change who i'am just teach me stuff thats supposed to help me. one thing though i read this book by jenny mccarthy and she supposedly was able to significantly treat him for his autism with a change in diet and behavioral therapy. seems possible ,but hes just a little boy so he wont remember how bad he used to be when he gets older. idk if seizure are related to autism, but I wouldnt change me for anything even if treatment was wonderfully remarkable.

Sandra:

I saw that thing. I didn't read the book. Some of the best minds in medicine are trying to understand AS, and along comes Jenny and chirps 'Oh, no, it's the water."

I don't buy it. Sorry. Maybe I've been AS myself for too long. It's not the water, or diet, or anything, unless you have a large diverse study done over several years with a lot of controls, you're (pardon me) pissing into the wind. '

There was probably a lot more to the book, but AS is a complex syndrome, and might not need a "cure," and McCarthy was telling a lot of people what they wanted to hear. Not necessarily what is true.

Sorry. I have my anger problems and AS under control, but that still doesn't stop me from getting pissed!.
Btdt

Because I want to keep my accent, my artistic talent and my rebellious edge. I might also be really good at math without knowing it, and if I am, I wouldn't want to lose that, either.

Oh yeah finding a cute is always good. You're for real, right?

We should find the cute in everything and everybody, don't you agree?

I certainly do. Especially in those people who detest "cute"; if people think they are cute it will really annoy them.

Is there research in USA being done about Asperger's? Are there any universities doing research?

Difference between "cure" and "treat"

I wouldn't want to be cured but I wouldn't want any kid to go through what I had to at school because of my diferences.

Diagnosis and protection of those unable to fit in is not a cure but would help all those with AS.

Helping those with AS with life skills and socialisation skills is not curing but is helping treat it. And by that I mean behaving in a more average manner.

Aspergers first of all isn't a disease... and anyway... I would never change it... It's what makes us who we are! It's what makes us different... life wouldn't be life without our differences... how would it be with no differences?how? boring... we'd all be into the same things... all have the same idea's... that would be wrong... just wrong

I wouldn't want a cure. I feel that way about cancer too, being a survivor. While it's made life harder, I think I am better as a person for having survived cancer and dealt with AS.

Why are you a better person after cancer? What is your reasoning for saying that?

I was diagnosed with bone cancer when I was 16. The experience has made me a stronger and more positive person. I know that having fought/beaten cancer, I can tackle anything life throws my way. It has made me value my life more, and value my relationships with those I care about most. I find joy in every single day, because I know that I might not have had this day to enjoy. It helped me realize what's important in life (my health, love, family, happiness, spending time together) and what's not (money, material things, what people may think of me). I hope that explains it.

There is a saying that whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. In your case, it must be true.

That's something I say a lot because I really do believe it.

Somehow I walked away from a car accident with everyone else injured and only my back was a little sore. Surprisingly my head wasn't since it hit the window. I was in the driver's side near the impact of getting hit from the side. Amazing! I was in the worst place of the 3 people involved in the accident and my back quit hurting. I only have one door left that works on my car. 1 is all I need I'm not sure if or how this made me any stronger. It did however make me very pissed off. A guy asked me if I wanted something to drink and I shouted only if he had a f*****g beer. Then I took some xanax and calmed my ass down by the time the police showed up.

The only thing that'll cure me is a bullet in the brainpan. <squish!> To cure becomes synonymous with to destroy. And to destroy me would be a great shame, for I am the butterfly who flaps his wings and causes a typhoon on the other side of the world.

Without fire, we could not temper steel; and without steel, the masterwork technique of forging a samurai sword would be meaningless. Who'd want to live in a world like that?

I'm happy with me just the way me is. I'm so mucked up, I've come full circle and reached perfection; in the end, the gods will worship me. But the key takeaway is that we really do find, in some cases, the closest distance between two points is a straight line in the opposite direction.

I wonder... Can death be considered a cure for life? I often wonder what troubles the dead might have, what pain they might feel, what love they might feel, what they might create in their spare time...

Good fortune,

- Icarus is guaranteed an answer in the end...
