would you ever change yourself to an NT?

Post Reply New Topic

Ive been wondring this for a vewry long time, if someone invented something to make your AS dissapear, would you change yourself to an NT?

Hmmmmmmm, if I could go back in time and get to have a fun teenager life then maybe....if I couldn't, then no.

maybe i dont know...

If my husband were NT we wouldnt be together.

and live a boring life without my special interests? no way.

I wouldn't mind being normal, my sisters are popular, well liked and very chatty. I would probably be like them if I wasn't an aspie. However without my aspergers I wouldn't be able to think of the all amazing artworks I produce. I've gotta say, being an aspie is a double edged sword...

I think that its amazing AS has helped someone to find true love, i never knew that was possible but i guess as the old saying goes"anything is possible!!"

You know i never thought of it that way, i mean i dont know where my life would be if it werent for my special interests, i would most likely have no personality whatsoever and would be a turnip with a pulse(i think thats what people say to describe a lifeless person)

Is that drawing on your profile photo yours, If it is its beautiful and you have a wonderful talent for art. I think i agree with you all the way, I have a special interest for writing and i probably wouldnt have a passion for poetry if it werent for my AS

I don't really like these questions because they're hard to answer for anyone... you wouldn't be you (cliche as that is.)

I really don't know. I used to want nothing more than to be normal, after I found out about the whole AS thing. I'd always made jokes about me being weird, but finding out that there really could be something wrong with me was a bit like a slap in the face.

But now I look at all the normal people and think: I wouldn't want to be like that. Most NT teenage girls do nothing but stab each other in the back, squeal about celebrities and go get drunk at parties. And to be honest, I'd rather be a little odd than spread rumours and gossip. But then I think about how much easier everything would have been if I was NT and I'm not so sure anymore.

Then again, Asperger's makes me who I am... taking it away would make me a different person. I probably wouldn't write like I do now... and honestly, that thought just makes me keep it.

Nah.

Never!

Though, I really wouldn't be sure if I had the choice before birth whether I wanted to have AS or not.

I fell in love with him because he was the most interesting man I ever met. He could talk about almost anything (he´s been reading since he is 4, so he knows a lot of things) and I could listen for hours. We also have a very similar sense of humor, we like the same music, watch the same TV shows and both enjoy movies. We have a lot in common. I used to love dancing, but he does not dance and dislike discotheques, so I stopped dancing. But he dislikes outdoors and I love nature, and he goes out with us (our daughter loves nature, too) to parks and stuff; he might get cranky, but he is there for us and even tries to enjoy. I just love him.

I don't think so. Maybe if I could try it then decide what I liked better. But I have no idea what it'd be like to be normal so... Yeah.

idk... still now I want to be normal, I don't really see any good from AS....
people said my poems are great, people read my first one and thought I was writing for years, but wouldn't I still be able to write like that without AS?
