That's dumb, that is. Taking advantage like that...
I think autism is mainly a social problem. I sometimes prefer to be alone or only with people I know well, I do sometimes find it awkward talking with some people I don't know so well in school as friends. Also, I know that I didn't start talking for quite a while and my mum got worried about it...now I can spell WAY better than alot of people at school...I'm in year 9 and someone spelt 'another' as 'anoughter'. I mean, come on...no offense to the guy, but still...
You can't really just think you're autistic, there are tests etc. available. Ask a doc about it.
It's doubtful that a cure could be found. Its a mental problem, and that kind of operation on the brain would be incredibly risky, expensive, and all that junk.
What I meant about the nice to know that you're not too different is that you /I don't feel quite so seperate from everyone else because of autism. Knowing there's a fair few people here with it as opposed to just me.

Anywho I too hate the fact I have to be stuck with the weird kids (There's two retarded boy's in my class who are gay and made out in front of us once....just yuck....)

Um...right...you're kidding, right?
Also, I'm a bit worried about your social problems etc. You should be being given some extra help in school. If you're not, thats illegal, I think. You have a right to it. If the teachers are especially nasty to you for reasons to do specifically with autism, do them in or something. Ask at the hospital, some social support group or something. if tis too serious a problem, call some serious authorities and all...
