I just want to be a reclusive millionaire :lol: I love being myself. If I didn't have to conform to society in order to make money, I'd be perfectly happy.

Yeah, I hear what you mean OP. I see the NT people who are family friends and their lives are amazing (for me) compared to mine. If there were a cure, I'd travel across continents to take it. But since a lot of the "cures" around are scams right now it's a moot point of discussion.

Most of the people (NTs) are wired to replicate the thoughts of the people around them. These people tend to follow the herd, and while adaptable and capable of a high degree of cooperation which each other, they are more restricted and subjective in their views of the world. They tend to live in the "socially constructed reality" of socially constructed beliefs, values, prejudices and assumptions that they share, change and strengthen with each other.

I'm not saying that an NT automatically will have a good time, but they usually have an easier time adapting to change, to the other people and generally fitting in with the majority of the people (the other NTs), while on the flipside having a restricted ability to see a more comprehensive and neutral vision of the world, the ability required to solve more complex problems in the modern society.

Neurotypicality is a bit like the blue pill, and autism a bit like the red pill. I'm a little unsure which one I would choose if I could.

I think that is a perfect analogy. Those who are different are the ones that stand out and change the world.
