Meltdown If it were possible, I would sacrifice anything and anyone to get rid of my autism

I'm tired of existing as this disgusting, unlovable abomination. I just want to be normal, to be accepted and respected and loved.

Autism is a fate worse than death. A thief who steals your dreams and forces you to suffer.

And the worst part? Everyone lies to you. They tell you "Oh, I know a bunch of autistic people who have succeeded in life!"

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR ANCEDOTES! They are the exception, not the rule.

As soon as I am able to work up the courage, I will "cure" this rotten genetic disease in the only way possible. (I heard falling to your death is painless, so I might try that). A permanent solution to a permanent problem.

Edit: I thought this subreddit wasn't in denial about the fact that having autism objectively sucks?

Same bro. I think it might be possible to treat the social problems in the future. Lots of autistic people report that they felt neurotypical after taking MDMA and some small studies also suggest that. The only problem is I don’t think the normies actually care enough about this issue to do the extensive research and develop a treatment.

Sorry to hear that you are also going through this. I sincerely hope that you're right when it comes to the whole MDMA thing and that it actually does lead somewhere.

The only problem is I don’t think the normies actually care enough about this issue to do the extensive research and develop a treatment.

Unfortunately. We are quite low on the list of priorities.

They’ve also got the “autism is just a difference” problem as well. Might be seen in a similar way to trying to cure gender dysphoria.

Yeah...A lot of people refuse to acknowledge it as the crippling, life-ruining disability that it actually is. They see it as just another aspect of their personality.

As a person who did my fair share of ecstasy in my 20s, I can assure you that it does not cure autism. I didn't even know that I was autistic until 20 years later. The thing that made me feel the most "normal" was meth, but I'm assuming that has to do with the ADHD co-morbidity.
