Hmm, I guess it'd depend on how much my personality, skills and other traits are linked to being on the autistic spectrum. That's the tricky part about these possibilities, we don't really know what someone who is on the spectrum (or for that matter, who has any other type of neurodiversity/psychological condition) would be like without having it. Does someone's interest in say, programming link to their autism/aspergers? Or their aptitude for it in general? There's always just that ambiguity, and that makes it difficult to decide even without obvious side effects. There are a lot of issues caused by being on the spectrum that I would love to have fixed by some miracle treatment like this, such as difficulties socialising or coping with crowds or strangers, or sensory overload or what not. But I would want certain other aspects of my personality to just vanish at the same time.
