curebie
A derogatory term used by members of the Aspergers Rights Movement to denigrate people who support the search for a cure to aspergers and the autism spectrum.
Members of the ARM feel that autism is not in fact an illness, but is merely an alternative way of functioning. They say that looking for a cure is a form of eugenics, and they would not want to lose their condition because it would fundamentally change who they are as a person.
