For some reason, I hated myself for being an AS. I look at normal kids talking and playing football and games together. You look ar yourself and you have no one to be with. Have you ever dreamed of being them, just like them? Or would you rather be an aspie. I wanted to be like them for a change.
I have a question.
What's the difference between and Aspie teen and a NT teen? What about Adults?
Is it better to be an aspie?
Yes, I have dreamed of being an NT teen. If given the choice, though, I would stay an aspie. I like being myself, i just don't like how others treat me.
Asking whats the difference between an aspie teen and a NT teen is like asking whats the difference between an asian teen and a african-american teen. There will be infact behavioral differences, but on the inside...we are all people and ALL want acceptance.
I don't think it's better or worse to be an aspie...I say, we are all different people, with different strengths and different weaknesses, different likes and dislikes and different goals for the future.
Does it really matter who is better, though? Answer: I think not...as no one is better than anyone else.
