Having discussed this IRL I have found there to be much disagreement in this area, what are your thoughts?

Clarification: This is a hypothetical so imagine it is one pill (or your preffered method of taking a medication) with no side effects.

    It’s hard to know which parts are autism and which aren’t. I’m not even sure the question has an answer. I’d love to stop the bad parts like meltdowns and shutdowns and sensory hypersensitivity.

    But which of my good parts are autism, and which are me? Would I change my interests, careers, social circles? It’s hard to know. If it’s a coin toss for each I’d probably not take the risk.
