I've always been told that the brain is wired entirely differently. No diet or medicine can change how your brain is wired after it has developed its wiring. I knew I was different by 3rd grade, when it seemed to me that everyone else had a secret rule book that I didn't have a copy of.

Also, I don't want to be cured now. I'm 70 and used to Asperger's. I love my ability to concentrate on research and never give up. I also love my IQ. Since I'm somehow "defective," I look at the general public around me, and they seem incredibly stupid. Perhaps they are. :)

I've also been told that this may be the next step in evolution, even though I don't believe macro-evolution has ever happened.
