If you had the choice to keep autism spectrum disorder or remove it completely which would you choose? This would change who you are so I have another question that adds on, let's say this is a reversible method would you see the difference?

I'm happy with who I am, so I would keep it. I'm loyal, caring, moral, and anti-hierarchy. Also, special interests are the best! The most simple things can make me happy ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm worried about what I might see if I test out neurotypicality as in I might lose some innocence. What if I see how jacked up things really are in the NT world? I want to stay away from their social games, power plays, and conformity.
