This question is asking for an opinion, and it is one about which people are very passionate. I will share my opinion because I think there are several aspects to this debate. Other people may have very different opinions.
- If you are a person with Asperger's Syndrome who wants a cure for yourself, I think that is your personal choice. It is right for you.
- If you have a family member or friend with AS whose impairments severely affect his or her functioning and you want enough of a cure so that the person can function (such as being able to communicate with others, to leave the house to run necessary errands, to hold a job), I do not think that is wrong. Although, I think, when possible, you should ascertain whether the person with AS wants a cure.
- If you have a family member or friend with AS who can function at a level with which that person is satisfied but want a cure because you are inconvenienced by some of the impairments, I think that is wrong.
- If you want a cure because you think everyone should be the same, I think that is wrong.
These are my opinions, not right or wrong answers. Often, people with Asperger's Syndrome view the condition as part of what makes them the people they are and would not want a cure that turns them into something different. A few others do want a cure for themselves because of the severity of their impairments.

∙ 8y agoYes, eugenics is always wrong.
Autism is a neurological difference so the only way to 'cure' autism would be to eradicate Autistic people via genetic testing to allow for pre-natal screening to allow abortion of Autistic people, genetic modification, and potentially sterilization of Autistic people to remove autism from the gene pool.
Some Autistic people may want a cure, but this primarily comes down to misunderstanding or internalized ableism. There's nothing inherently bad about autism, a persons symptoms may be bad and thus treatment is the answer not changing who you are by changing your entire brain - which is obviously not possible anyway, no matter how much some people may want to be someone else.

Can you take a test online for Asperger's Syndrome?
yes there are many tests for aspergers . there is one problem . getting a good score in a test does not mean you have aspergers . if you want to make sure that you have aspergers and you get a high score i suggest you sign up for a diagnosis . if you dont get a high aspie score its not likely you have aspergers and you shouldn't bother much . what a test says is not always true You could take an online test to give yourself an idea whether you could have Asperger syndrome, but to know for sure you would need to see a properly qualified professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, for a thorough assessment.

Why are people with aspergers syndrome specific?
They want to be understood. ^This is true. But also, a lot of people with Asperger's are concrete thinkers, and have trouble with generalizing or being unclear. Many also tend to be very detail-oriented, so they are specific. Sources: On the spectrum
How come people don't want to be friends with people who have aspergers?
People with aspergers dont have many friends because they are shy but some people will play with aspies and make friends with them. I have aspergers but have a good amount of friends. People with aspergers are aslo morelikely to be bullied so they might get a reputation as being weak
Is a relationship with a person with asperger's syndrome doomed?
Not at all.People with Aspergers fall in love and care about people, just like people without Aspergers.The thing is, people with Aspergers have their own style of communication, and people without Aspergers have a different style of communication. Emotions manifest in certain ways in persons with Aspergers, and in slightly different ways with non-Aspergers. So sometimes two people both with Aspergers get along well, because they understand eachother, and can read each other's emotions better. Sometimes neurotypicals (that is, people without Aspergers) don't propperly read the emotions of someone with Aspergers, and vice versa. So there can be challenges in a neurotypical/Aspie relationship, but that relationship is not doomed. You just have to both learn to understand each other, which is perfectly possible if you both want to.The important thing to remember, is that each person with Aspergers is a unique individual with an individual personality, just like each person without Aspergers.I have Aspergers. My closest friend does also. We have a lot of affection for each other. Sadly, not everyone else understands me. But he does. Our friendship proves that we are capable of deep emotionally felt love.And it really is possible for a deep relationship to exist when one person is neurotypical (not aspergers) and the other has aspergers. But it does really help when you understand Aspergers.Aspergers: Capable of deep love, like anyone else.May have more subtle or different ways of showing emotion.Tended to be socially awkward when young. May have learned social skills in adulthood, or may still come across as a little weird.Will always have an Obsession. What this is about, depends on the individual. If he/she is in love with you, you may be their Obsession.
What was right and wrong with Mildred's cure in Fahrenheit 451?
Right: Mildred's cure, which involved pumping out and replacing her blood, was effective in removing the toxins that were making her ill. Wrong: The cure was only addressing the symptoms of Mildred's illness, rather than the root cause of her dissatisfaction and emptiness, which was attributed to the society's obsession with mindless entertainment and lack of genuine human connection.
Should you marry a girl whose brother has aspergers?
Well the better question to ask is do you love her? I mean you must love her if you want to marry her and the point is here if you love her then what does it matter if her brother has aspergers. If you are having doubts about whether your kids will have aspergers then you will have to talk to your doctor but it shouldn't matter because with or without the disease it would still be your child and you shouldn't love it any less.

How do you make friends when you have Aspergers Syndrome?
While it can be more challenging to make friends when you have Aspergers Syndrome, I believe there is still good reason to have hope. Society as a whole is becoming increasingly aware of Aspergers and Autism and more accepting of people who are on the Autism Spectrum. Take for example, the TV show, The Big Bang Theory. While it is never actually stated, I highly suspect that Sheldon's character is based on an individual who has Aspergers, and he is certainly an endearing fellow who has a close-knit group of friends whom he can count on. There are plenty of examples in real life as well of people who have Aspergers Syndrome who are living full, productive lives, have jobs, friends and many other accomplishments to their credit. Don't put too much pressure on yourself , striving for the hundreds or even thousands of so-called "friends" that a lot of young people have on their social media pages. Many would question how real any of these friendships really are. Start with one person and go from there. When approaching a person in your efforts to begin a friendship, I have read about many success stories that involve individuals with Autism taking a very forthright approach, telling people from the start about their condition. Explain to people whom you are interested in getting to know better that you have Aspergers and tell them what it's all about. Explain that it is sometimes difficult for you to read body language. Ask them if they'd mind giving you tips and advice from time to time in conversation to help you work on these skills. If sometime is not receptive to this, chances are that you don't really want him or her as a friend anyways! As the parent of an individual who has Autism, I know that I cannot truly understand and appreciate the challenges that you face as a person with Aspergers, but hope that of my suggestions can be of some help to you.
