I most definitely want a cure for those most profoundly disabled; I want a cure for my most disabling aspects. Autism has ruined my life, like it has ruined many others: I can't lie.
And no, I don't believe the self-diagnosed have any right to speak for the most profoundly disabled or really for anyone with autism.

Stephanie Lynn Keil, Curing Autism, A Grand Illusion, November 30, 2009
Stephanie Lynn Keil is a person with an autism disorder who speaks honestly and from a very personal, non ideological perspective. Like Jonathan Mitchell and Jake Crosby she wants to be cured of her autism. Like them she will not likely be interviewed by the New Yorker, CBC, Time, Newsweek or CNN which will likely continue to feature the views of anti autism cure proponents. Fortunately the internet provides a means for Stephanie, Jonathan and Jake to advance their positions to counter, to some extent, the dangerous positions of the anti autism cure "self" advocates over whom the mainstream media fawns unrelentingly.
