I'm 18 and have autism. I've heard a lot of people say hopefully there will be a cure for autism one day.... Idk it kind of makes me upset. I'm fine the way I am and I don't think I need to be cured. I'm sure people are only saying that to be helpful but tbh it's hurtful to me. I do think differently than other people but im fine with how I am. There was never a time when I thought myself as a person wasn't okay until I had people talking about finding cures for autism. I know they mean well.... I just wish people were okay with me just being me. Autism and all...
