Well, I bet the people around me - our parents &amp; teachers - would be ecstatic with joy and say, "Hallelujah! We'll change them back to normal right now!" And for ages and ages I badly wanted to be normal, too. Living with special needs is so depressing and so relentless. I used to think it'd be the best thing if I could just live my life like a normal person. </p> <p>But, now even if somebody developed a medicine to cure autism, I might well choose to stay as I am. Why have I come around to thinking this way?</p> <p>To give the short version, I've learned that <b>every human being, with or without disabilities, needs to strive to do their best, and by striving for happiness you will arrive at happiness.</b> for us, you see, having autism is normal - so we can't know for sure what your "normal" is even like. <b>But so long as we can learn to love ourselves, I'm not sure how much it matters whether we're normal or autistic.</b></p> <p>:heart: </p>
