I'm not autistic or anything, so it's definitely your prerogative to tell me to shut the gently caress up, but isn't it kind of messed up to say "my amount of autism is great, but people who are more autistic than me definitely need help"? Either it's a disease that needs curing or it's not. Maybe this is an inherent problem with it being a "spectrum" of disorders?

I think that's part of it, but someone's individual perception of themselves is definitely a factor. I have Asperger's and I'm not sure if I'd get a cure or not, but take something like near-sightedness. I need glasses and personally would never want lasik, because to me the glasses have become an integral part of how I see myself, but there are still many people less near-sighted than me who get lasik.
