If there was a " cure" for Autism, what would you do? Would you research it first? Would you not check into it at all? Or would you study the research, knowing that there are so many people on the Spectrum who have not had the compassion, the encouragement, or maybe the training you have had? What about the late diagnosed children who cannot speak but a few words? But they can type a novel on a keyboard. What about them? What about us? What would you change if you could?

@sirgalahad , I am so thankful that we have this understanding, you and I, about the actual wiring of our Autie brains. I also have ADHD, and as I told a perfect stranger yesterday, I like my brain just the way it is. I know I ramble on and on sometimes when I am speaking about my obsessions. I can tell that I am beginning to bore people when they get this little glazed look in their eyes. At least now I have these wonderful cards I can give out to people that tell about the work being done with Mayo Clinic Connect. They are great ice breakers or conversation finishers. I even gave out cards while I was having foot surgery yesterday. I am trying to make the Neurotypical world a better place for my Aspie precious little Grandson. He has a brilliant brain beneath the guise of the little professor who can recite with perfect accuracy the script of every children's show he has ever seen. Just imagine how great he would be in memorizing scripts for a play! There are positives to every negative anyone can throw at us. Hope you are having a wonderful day down under there in Australia. Say! I have an idea. If anyone out there reading this would like to post the general area of where they are from, that would be great! Southern USA, here!
Canada here! It seems wonderful to me that we can reach out to each other around the world and offer each other support and encouragement!
Best to you all wherever you are!

@ainsleih, you are all the way from Canada! I have always wanted to go to Canada. Thank you for joining the conversation. I look forward to learning more about your experiences and sharing information with you.

unfortunately there isn't a cure to physiologically change the brain and the biochemistry and neural electrical activity and the comorbidities attached to the changes the brain and the hyper connectivity of the neural synapses
