"It's now 2016 and the cure for autism is widely known."
Derision noted. If you're going to attempt to hurt Xena, make it clever? Please?
Yes, it's called not getting vaccines
If this was a serious thread, I'd say mental issues should be dealt with similar to the physical ones. There are plenty of both who can render someone "useless" and "a problem" to society.
Since this isn't a serious thread (there's no cure for autists and you were just aiming for edgy by implying to kill them off), I'll just call you spaghetti man, spaghetti man.

So you believe that all mental illness should be wiped out if possible?

An illness is a form of suffering by definition, so yeah, ofc all mental illness should be cured if possible.

That's not actually part of the definition. : P People can be physically ill even, without even knowing it. And mental illness certainly can't be thought of in such blanket terms as physical illness is. Not all mentally ill people consider their disorder a problem, and much of the creative power of history's greatest minds may have been lost without it. I imagine the ratio of people without mental illness who would be for eradicating it, would be vastly different than the ratio of mentally ill people who would be for it. If someone with a mental illness refused a cure, would you be in favor of forcing it on them?

It is possible though.

Yeah, there's a disease where the person can't feel pain at all. That's still something bad for them even though they might not feel it. You talk of illness when something wrong is going on, something unhealthy, and ofc health is something to strive for. Not curing and supporting people's suffering because it might prove good/entertaining for the rest of the people/humanity is unethical as fuck. Might just as well support bringing back the Roman bloodbaths in the Colosseum.
As for your last question, I'm not in favor of forcefully curing physical diseases if the sick person is against it either, unless they present a risk for the rest of the population. As I said, mental issues should be treated the same IMO.

Some people seem to rather enjoy their mental illnesses. They either believe they're better off for them, or the imbalance/lack of lucidity is making them enjoy bad times as well. Many enjoy being disconnected from the reality we know.
Taking into account someone like Fedsmoker for instance shows someone mentally off who seems to still enjoy himself.
