Why ARE you Negautive?

	Duration: 01:01 minutes Upload Time: 07-07-08 11:03:45 User: KuraiGaka2 :::: Favorites :::: Top Videos of Day
Description: I would like to hear from autistic people who desire a cure for their autism. I have asked them about their wish to cure themselves bt most of them have replied to me in a way that implied that my question was stupid or disrespectful to their choice. But I am sure there are some others who are willing to take the time to explain their views. It would be interesting to get some insight form a persom who has very contrasting views to myself.

mom5mills ::: Favorites I think some autistics say they hate their autism when what they really hate is how people then treat them. i dont disclose that about me to most people because i don't want people's pity (or worse-persecution). i'd rather they think i was a jerk, or rude, or eccentric than pity me -for something that doesn't bother me.) 07-08-18 23:24:31 __________________________________________________
natalialove ::: Favorites sometimes i say/feel "i hate my brain" ... but on the other hand it is the same brain that lets me obsess on the material that became my profession (because i teach it). not to say that a non-perseverative brain would be bad at my field, but this way works for me... usually. and nobody's brain works just how they want it to *all* the time, right?! 07-08-09 12:51:48 __________________________________________________
KuraiGaka2 ::: Favorites Yes. I remember there was a video about Neurodiversity by this woman who calls herself nervousneuron and she talks about how there should be a balanced view towards Neurological disorder/illnesses. It's a very good video. 07-07-15 16:13:33 __________________________________________________
christschool ::: Favorites Many autistic people internalize the hatred and disappointment they hear and receive from society. It's only natural. I think all minorities suffer from this. This is why its so important to change society rather than change the autistic. No one should feel bad about being who they are. 07-07-15 15:38:01 __________________________________________________
christschool ::: Favorites Don't blame your autism. I worked in political campaigns for years. There are many autistic people working in not only campaigns but as political staffers on Capital Hill. You can find a niche. How about graphics? 07-07-15 15:34:59 __________________________________________________
dinahkcm ::: Favorites great answer to the Why are you posautive? question, thank you. But I actually meant to be referring to your videos, both posautive and negautive, rather than actually meaning to ask the question. So my comment was a correction to the prior comment saying Thank you for doing these. cheers. 07-07-13 05:39:07 __________________________________________________
KuraiGaka2 ::: Favorites Why am I posautive? I was going to reply with a video but I'll explain with a VERY shortened version of the answer - Where WOULD I be without it? What if I didn't get the friends I have now? What if I wasn't an artist? What if I was a completely different person? I just couldn't imagine what life would be like without it. I'll have to explain it better later, though. I don't want to change the subject... 07-07-13 05:33:03 __________________________________________________

dinahkcm ::: Favorites Thank you for doing these (this and Why are you negautive?), I think it's a great idea to ask for these views. 07-07-13 05:15:54 __________________________________________________
dinahkcm ::: Favorites People are always looking after other people - you are looking out for them too - they have your love and the reward of your company and well-being, and probably some good feelings about being good people too. They value all of this for sure, and it is the reward for their efforts. Also, nobody at-all goes through life without suffering, much of it unrewarded in any way. 07-07-13 05:14:17 __________________________________________________
