| I agree, ThinkTrees. It's treatment for symptoms of low-functionality, not a cure for who you are. |

| The whole notion that we Aspies could be given some medication or treatment that will either cure or alleviate our symptoms or behavior is absolutely absurd. We are who and what we are, and nothing is going to suddenly make us NT's. The most anyone could hope for are therapies provided to children,... |

| That is a good point... But I still feel that no matter how bad you have it you still wouldn't really want to lose parts of you that make you you... Let's say you were a gay male and you were with your partner for a very long time and a cure was released for being gay, and maybe in a rash decision ... |

| Yeah, I know how you feel. I actually seriously considered whether or not I had romantic feelings toward a friend of mine, once, and came to the conclusion that if we weren't as close as we were (the the extent that we, cliche as it is, are pretty much family) then I probably would. In the end I jus... |

*raises hand*
My entire family eats this way. Weight loss, better health and better mental function as a result — my brother, my dad and I have much less serious symptoms of AS, and my mother no longer suffers with bouts of depression. |

| "While I know there are many people with aspergers who hate themselves they in my opinion aren't thinking clearly whatsover... These "autism-like behaviors" aren't something that needs to be cured! They are part of who we are, part of our personality" What a load of rubbish. You are obviously not A... |

| When I woke up this morning (about an hour and a halfish ago) my mum comes up to me looking absolutely exhausted and says, deadpan: "There is a bat in the house, and it woke me up because it sh*t in my eye." I still can't help lapsing into giggles! :P Something my dad, my brother and I — all of us a... |

| Because I'm sick of settling for less and having nothing because of it. I wouldn't having an Aspie woman either, but there's hardly anyone that is like me in my area. That's I wanted to aim at female NTs because I want the challenge and move on from my previous life. How is an aspie settling for le... |

| I understand completely why you did what you did, but I believe that your family is right — though they should have been more sympathetic of your concerns. She's probably not serious. I would say "definitely", but I'll try not to be too black-and-white here. ;) Everything I say henceforth is entirel... |

Well, I've not experienced this (probably because I don't watch Youtube videos all that often) but I reckon it has something to do with British people having great accents, so everyone loves listening to them speak. |

| Is it wrong to say that I absolutely love that scene. If that happened in real life then it wouldn't be funny but I guess I'm saying at times death is funny in the world of fiction when it comes to moments like that one scene in Jurassic Park or how about when that fat guy got killed and also when ... |
