What kind of person would you be without AS?

Post Reply New Topic

I would probably be ho-hum boring.

It's sad, but my best guess is that I would be a semi-Sociopathic jerkass who would have a group of friends as a disguise, but only actually trust very few of them. I'd probably have my own kind of high-interest underground loan company at school. You don't pay me the 50% interest on that $10? Then you'll mysteriously get beat on the head and wake up without a wallet.
It's because I feel like I have an inner Sociopath trying to get out...

I would demand respect from people, therefore I would receive it. If I tried to do that now, I would be laughed out of town. I would be confident and attract friends like magnets. I think I would still be a nice person, but not such a push-over. I would have a bubbly laugh, and the ability to giggle on demand. I can't fake a laugh now, to save my life, unless I truly do find someone funny, which is rare, unless I'm around my (suspected) Aspie family. Aspies make me laugh. I just don't get what most NT's consider to be humorous. I'm content with my husband, but I'm sure I wouldn't have married him if I were an NT. I would have married a more ambitious business type of guy, with a sensitive/romantic side (Does he even exist?). I'm not saying this would have turned out better than my marriage, but I know that I would have looked for this type of man, if I hadn't been more interested in being with someone who made me comfortable and didn't judge me.

I probably wouldn't be much differant, just without the chronic headaches, sensory issues, obsessive behavior, and not as quiet. I'd still harbor a deep hatred for others, still suffer from chronic pain brought on by idiots beating me as a kid, and probably be an equally as big as*hole.

Maybe I would drive...maybe I woulda done better in school..maybe i would be alot more organised..who knows???

Remove the social retardation and learning difficulties and what do you get?

I would probably be a librarian with lots of cats. AS or NT, I'd always have pets. I couldn't imagine life without them.

I wouldn't be nervous when taking a driver's test and could get my license.

I could travel to London for the 2012 Olympics and travel to meet friends from my cat site.

married with children?

Successful... maybe?

I have no idea. It's nto something you can really figure out.

A scheming, cocky, charismatic snake oil salesman at worst, a confident businessman type at best. Personally, I think AS is sort of a blessing for me because I can't read people that well or else I could do some REALLY dubious stuff.

I'd be a better person life would be easier anyway whats wrong with getting into trouble we all do it even I have done some things which has got me into trouble. My life would be easier I would have grades at school I would have a more steadier job I would prefer it

i would remain an idiot

I'd have more hair

Double on this.
I'd probably a serial killer or assassin. I mean, I probably already could be.
Its just effort man, I'd rather do the strategic work. Knowledge is power - AS or not I'd be a cocky as*hole rather detached and constantly objective.

I'd probably just not have to make and store data on social niceties and emotions as equations and applied equations and see them more as - what is (annoying and draining) and give up on the inability to rationalize those things you just can't damn well get rather than NEED to find a reason, rational, logical explanation/theory/equation. I'd more naturally get it rather than have to learn it and patternize/analyze.

I pick up on things quick, dangerous one I am. Watch out, next thing you know I'll be at ur door kickin' ur grandma.

I wouldn't be me, which would suck, but without the social hang-ups, I would have likely slept around a lot, since really slu*ty girls tended to hit on me. Doing the math, I'd probably have gotten AIDS and died. I'm feeling good about myself now.

Without AS, I'd be either a lot nicer or a lot meaner. I tend (like) to think it'd be the latter.
