I personally believe that High-Functioning Autism is at least in some cases a mixed package. It is autism that allows me to have really good hearing. It is autism that gave me the ability to do math and love STEM. It is autism that allows me to see the world from a more rational point of view.
Do I have sensory integration issues? Not much. Does autism make me suicidal? No, I'm not suicidal. Do I have physical clumsiness? A bit but I'm still healthy. I still exercise. So why do I want to lose autism? No. The only benefit of non-autism would be understanding the society and having a partner. However who cares? I enjoy math. I enjoy computer science. I also enjoy checking out the latest advances in Physics, Biology and other fields. I enjoy chatting with other STEM people and being on rationalist websites. I don't want to trade my STEM skills and rationality for a spouse.
