As someone who's not autistic myself, I didn't want to make assumptions about how those with the diagnose feel about it. I've heard several proclaim that they don't want to be "cured", because there's nothing to be cured of. I've heard others say that they crave to be neurotypical.

Glad to hear, that you're in the group who's not desperately wishing they were neurotypical :) I can image it to be incredibly stressful and depressing.
