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.

    Absolutely not. I would not even coherently be “me” anymore - autism is a pretty fundamental neurostructural difference/neurotype. It would be akin to being lobotomised.

    Regardless of some of the downsides of being autistic, it is a fundamental aspect of how I experience the world, think about the world, and understand myself. And it has some advantages, too :) .
