Not to sound silly but more power to you. I am still getting used to the idea even though I have been like this since around 8 years old. Becoming self-aware is a power thing.

You must be quite a young dude.

You'll grow out of that attitude in time.

You ARE part of the 'masses': you're just as human as everyone else.

And there is nothing wrong with being a member of the community of human beings.

I also enjoy being an aspie. I love having a mind of my own. I love the fact, that I'm not influenced by the popular culture of 2010, that I can brush it off, and be the Modish Kinks Fan, that I am. I love that I can get through an entire evening, without having to be with somebody, or go to a night club, get drunk and dance to Top 40, that I enjoy my own company. I love the fact, that I get along, better with my parents and the rest of my family, than most people my age, and to me, that's golden. I also like the fact that I can walk into a restaurant, alone and have a good meal, by myself.

So long as you don't develop a superiority complex, then enjoy being you. I wouldn't trade being an aspie for anything. At times it is difficult, but it is what makes me unique.

I'll never understand how people can take pride in something they have not accomplished. It's merely something we were born with. We didn't do anything for it. It's not an accomplishment.

I love being an aspie. I love being my own person, untouched by mainstream society. :)

After a childhood and early adulthood of trying to fit in, but still coming across as a square peg in a round hole, I have learned to accept who I am. Now, I can be as weird, and eccentric, artsy and intellectual as I like, and actually enjoy it. My wife tells me she wouldn't love me any other way, and we both love seeing our daughter, who has PDD-NOS, be as quirky and individualistic as she can possibly be.

I can't wait to get older.

yeah well if being "seperated" from the masses means constant depression,anxiety resulting from even minor encounters with strangers amongst other things id rather be neurotypical, sorry.. im sure a lot of people would want such a "cure" though i doubt it would ever exist those people perfectly able to adapt and thrive as they are now more power to them but im kinda tired of the fact that the only voices media wise seem to be either parents of kids with severe autism or those steadfastly opposed to any cure happy with the way they are now, thats fine but im sure there are plenty of adults who feel differently..
