| I disagre with killing babys if the baby has autism and if the babay does not. I still want a cure for autism. |

Ask me when I was 12, making word noises euphorically in my little room the size of the universe, I would have said no. Ask me again when I was 19 getting beat up and worse in the navy, I'd say yes. Ask me when I was 30 in love with Shelley and long walks in my mind, I'd say no. Ask me again when I was 45 when my wife left me and took the kids, the answer would be yes. Ask me today, I'd say it's too late I don't care. You could be as normal as a blank sheet of paper and still there's ups & downs when you hit the typewriter. Is there a cure for suffering? The cure for joy will probably be right around the corner.

I think it's called forced sterilisation. |

I feel the same way that you do on this issue.

I'll say - a wonderfully poetic and considered response to a simple question, avoiding all the simplistic answers.
This brought tears of happy recognition to my eyes:
Ask me when I was 12, making word noises euphorically in my little room the size of the universe, I would have said no.

Same. Well, it would be nice for the sensory issues to be cured. |

A cure is too universal and interferes too much with your personality. It would damage the people subjected to it, and it would damage society as a whole by getting rid of at least one useful aspect of diversity.
What we need is better education, more useful treatment, better acceptance and integration. We don't need to change the brains of the autistic people; we need to change the society they have trouble fitting into.

I don't think there should be a cure, and I don't think they will find one.
But I think that a lot of people would be happier and have a better life with autism/AS if they got the help they needed and the understanding they needed. I think maybe the best treatment would be knowlegde and giving people the help they need.
Probably very naïve of me to think this way...
