If you had been born without ASD, what would you be like?

[Fridgemagnetman]

It saddens me to read some degrading comments about NT. We are all part of a whole and this diversity brings a lot to society. It would be sad to despise the differences since even between us aspies the gaps are impressive.

My 2 cents

I don't think people despise the differences.
I think differences are being highlighted as an easy form of reference within the concept of the thread.
There's an inherent ambiguity within language and that can be reflected positively.
Or, for brevity, I didn't see it that way.
Yin and yang two tracks on the railroad.

 

[Yes I am]

The gaps between us aspied meant ...

Some of us, have careers, have a family. And for other aspie life is more difficult. They are intellectually limited, have a hard time living without the support from the outside.

And this my friend is a fact that is not attributable to NT.

I do not accept that you are attributing your sufferings to my brother and my sister whom I adore and who are NT. How are they responsible?

I understand that you are very uncomfortable with your situation and I sincerely hope that someone will come to your aid.

And finally, be certain that I will never denigrate the people that I love because they are different from me.

My last word

I think that I would ended up with a higher educational level of high school, not college.
I also think I would have a greater focussed without taking meds. It would mean that I possible be more skilled with certain things.

It would also mean that I would have less frustration with social interaction. Not that I hate social interaction but I need my "anti-social" moments now sometimes.

It would mean that I would be less stressed out by certain things, wich would make me relaxed.

• but I would not trade my autism for being "normal".
• I love my autism, because it makes me a stronger person when it comes to learning myself and thinking of solutions.
• I wouldnt know certain things about myself.
• I wouldnt have such a strong personality.

Hmm. I'd probably have less anxiety and depression.
I'd probably also be more boring, superficial, and manipulative, because that's how most of my NT family and aquaintances are.

If I weren't ASD, I probably would be....."NORMAL". Nah, I'm fine the way I am. I wouldn't give up my weirdness.

Without ASD I wouldn't be as unique. I felt I was meant to have ASD and don't want to be neurotypical.
