I would NOT accept a cure for autism and for these reasons. My autism diagnosis was like being airlifted out of Vietnam as a baby and being adopted by an Australian couple and then having people say, "Who's that?" "My mother." "Don't be ridiculous." and going back to Vietnam and finding that that's where I belong. I have found my tribe. Another reason is, I ask, who decides what aspects of autism are disabling and who doesn't? I mean, what may be disabling for one person may not be for another. For example, I am happy to be accommodated at the local supermarket by having quiet hours when I go shopping, but someone else may be completely overstimulated. Another reason why I wouldn't accept a cure for autism is this. All through my school years, I was bullied. I feel that being cured would validate the bullies.
