If there was a button presented to you & you press it you have a 50% chance to cease to exist immediately & stay that way forever or a 50% chance to immediately be born again in a different environment & set of circumstances but you will look exactly the same physically albeit without the Autism; you'll be Neurotypical.
Would you? I'd do it without a second thought, being Autistic sucks balls. It's not the Autism per say I dislike, it's that being Autistic in this reality is a life of discrimination & being ostracized by the majority of other humans. Struggling with things ppl do every day & take for granted without giving it any real thought.
If you're coached early on or born into an affluent family I guess it has its perks but being born to peasants in a shit neighborhood without any encouragement, opportunities or being taught any life skills or specialized training is fucked. Add to this having both parents afflicted by mental illnesses that were never officially diagnosed (some form of high functioning autism & the other with the telltale signs of Diogenes syndrome) means you grow up with no measure of what is "normal" & are not moulded to the same standards of your peers in your culture.
