Presumably in this hypothetical situation where you can "cure" autism, you can also "uncure" autism.
My point is that austistic people who choose to deliberately stay autistic without experiencing what it is like to be non-autistic are making a biased choice (likely rooted in fear of the unknown).
The objective course of action is to experience being non-autistic for a few years before deciding whether you actually like being autistic...
> Presumably in this hypothetical situation where you can "cure" autism, you can also "uncure" autism.
For one, I don't see how that's justified. There are plenty of diseases we can't uncure?!
And then, the choice to try out non-autism is already a decision to be non-autistic, even if only temporarily.

Well, yes, obviously. And how is that relevant, when noone claimed they were making an unbiased decision?
> The objective course of action is to experience being on-autistic for a few years before deciding whether you want to "uncure" yourself.
More subjective experience doesn't make the decision objective, just better informed. And in any case, it's still besides the point, because noone was making claims about how objective or how informed the decision is?
When someone says "Plenty of people don't drink alcohol, and are happy with it, and have no interest in trying alcohol", it's simply a non-sequitur to respond "But the objective course of action is to experience drinking alcohol for a few years." Yes, the decision would be better-informed, but being better informed is not a prerequisie for being happy with what you are doing, nor does the fact that you could try drinking alcohol have any relevance to the assertion that some people just aren't interested.
And the objective course of action for any neurotypical person is to spend a few years autistic. I imagine you'll be first in line to sign up, given your penchant for objectivity.
