My Attempt To Become The World's First Person To Be Cured From Autism Through Plastic Surgery

When I was born, I was a late talker and was part-time in special education. Things then started to seem better until my grades started rapidly declining in high school. I then began to question whether the connection between autism and genius was legitimate, and discovered substantial evidence countering this assertion. In short, most artists throughout history actually had excellent social skills and could stay on task. Unemployment is the norm, not the exception, among autistic people. The full story about my experience with it and my desire for an autism cure is written here.

While researching the causes for autism, I discovered a 2011 study (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/children-with-autism-have-distinct-facial-features-study/) which claimed that individual autistics had different facial features than non-autistics. Those morphology features included wide-spaced eyes and a shorter nasal width. I saw that this correctly described my face. I then consulted with award-winning neurologist Dr. Manuel Casanova about my idea. He said that it sounded worthwhile, and I should write about it on his blog.

I went to seek a plastic surgery doctor, who confirmed that the muscle on my forehead was working too hard. So far, I have had three injections, as documented in Dr. Casanova's blog. This has been a positive experience overall. I work a customer service representative job, and now I can stay focused and easily converse with people. It is far easier for me to connect with people on an everyday basis. Additionally, my scientific thought has been noted in academia. While I have given up some sensory experiences because of this autism therapy, the trade-off has been worth it.

I had the first injection three days later on July 18, 2016.

Notice that the muscle at the top of my nose is less tense.
