Test That Can Turn You Into NT Temporary, Would You Take It?

Post Reply New Topic

oh, you have the complete rationale of me living with the hippies and stoners for thirty years! I was not considered too weird because their perception was pretty off. I heartily suggest if you want to 'blend in' somewhere, hang out with those who are trying to escape the confines of their NT lives by 'escaping' into chemical diversity!

Yes, that would be awesome. I'd go drive my car around and revel in having normal visual perceptual skills. I'd also love to see what it's like to be a baby, or a little kid, or a cat.

hmm... if I did that temporary, my major elation would be watered down to slight elation and my horrible, horrible lows would be 'slight nuisance'.

I'd imagine... I don't know really if I would take it.

YEAH, I would like BOTH! The NT and the autistic drink! I am clearly neither. In some ways I really seem autistic(if you think about it and see the full effect), and in others I seem CLEARLY NT(if you don't look too hard). It would be nice to see things from both sides. Fuzzy has a point though. How do you really know you will keep the experience.

As for interviews? Most work against me in some way, and the REAL loser is the client. If I could SOMEHOW trick them into doing the best for them, and making the best choice, it would be a WIN/WIN!

no

I would take it if, and only IF, I would go back to being me in a few days with no side effects or strings attached!

Yeah, I took that as a given. If I couldn't be back to myself in a short time, FORGET IT!

sinsboldly, If you want a Kanner autistic, you are right now observing one in action (ie: the Lab Pet). I am a HFA and 'organically' autistic.

Right now I'm twirling for you to 'show off' my autistic-ness.....see? Autism in motion.

Separately, when you said (paraphrase) "A drink to make you a true Kanner austistic...." I was envisioning Alice in Wonderland with her vial that said DRINK ME.

Hmmm… I think I took that test last night. It was called a concert. Nothing like trying to attempt to be normal when halfway though the second song you realize you can’t handle it and you end up way in the back away from everyone else just to enjoy the show. I was more than content to stand apart from everyone else.

So no, if there were such a test, I wouldn’t take it.

Yes, out of pure curiosity. It would be a fascinating experience to get an access to the way NT's brains work. It would be a fascinating experience, to be such a person for one day. I'd like also find out how it is to be a person with LFA.

I agree on the job interview post. Also, if I ever consider taking up driving again, I would want to take it the day of the behind the wheel test.

MEE TOO!! !!
That is exactly how I saw it. . .with the lable on a string and the words writ large!

I would just like to be in a place where I could be distracted by what ever distracts me and not have to drag my attention back from it to 'maintain' NTness. . .

So basically lower our intelligence for a few hours?

No being serious now. Sure why not it would be interesting and help me understand NT people better.

Ha, excellent point. I was wondering what the use of said test would be. But in a way, I wouldn't want it for that either; besides being too honest about other things (generally speaking, "yes" is not the "right" answer to a question that runs along the lines of "Do you ever rapidly change from happy to sad without any prior notice?"), I wouldn't want to take the test every day, which would be required in order to maintain the post. If the first impression is that of a charismatic individual with good social skills, it's possible that said charismatic individual is going to be asked to handle a lot of social things that an aspie really could not.

I don't think I would take it, no. How I am is part of me; I don't want to be someone else. I don't want to have thoughts that are not my own, feelings that I would not normally feel. Maybe as a random experience far away from everyone I know until it wears off (I would not want my current view tainted by anything else, no matter how unlikely it seem) it would be interesting, but I don't think I would want to anyway.

WOW! You make it sound so *************FUN*************! !! !! I assume you generally live a relatively stress free life when at home. Of course, it sounds like you have mostly the benefits of "Full blown" autism. Yeah, I wouldn't even mind seeing things though your eyes for the full kanners. For NT, you would need a poor blue collar, person that is really socially successful, preferably with an IQ of 90-120. Where is hermine(sp?) when you need her!? We could use some of that elixer she made. Just have her get the hairs from the person, and not the robe, etc....

It is a pity that such a thing could never be done.

I would to see what it was like and the curiosity...I have a disconnection yet work hard and in the public so I guess it is mild or maybe I am just weird. It shows more when I am in a new situation like classes that require interaction. I do not socialize well though only on phone and computer and that is difficult
