Would you pay $1 million to stay AS ?

Post Reply New Topic

But you just did.

So, do you want me to test these traits in Aspie-quiz to prove they are not related to ASCs, but to a bad environment?

No.
a) - Because it's not provable.

b) - Because as I've already told you, I don't talk to you.

Now go and talk to someone who wants to talk to you - or sinsboldly (moderator Merle) is gunna ban me for 'harrassing' you as a 'vulnerable' member.

Are you referring to my response or your post I responded to? It's obvious to me (and atleast one other responder on this thread) that your list of "cured items" is utter BS. An AS magic pill will not do any of the things that I quoted in my earlier post. No magic pill will.

You seem to think the grass is a lot greener on the NT side of the fence - you might want to take a walk in their shoes, in their shit-filled lives, before you tell us how easy it is for them.

That's exactly what I'm TRYING to do - but the anti-cure mob want to stop me.

I think I would get rid of my Aspergers Syndrome I want to be independent and be able to talk to strangers when they say "hello" to me and not freak out. Be able to go into a dance class not have private lessons because I cant face the people in the classroom.
XOXOOX

can i pay 1£ month?(they will never get whole cash)

I would definitely rather pay $1 million as an alternative to being mutilated.

If one is already autistic, how would they know what it is like to be neurotypical? Personally I would see it as being an alien inside of my own mind. (Or would I - it's not normal to see oneself in the third person is it?)

Yes. Definitly.

Indeed not.
You wouldn't have simultaneous dual sensibilities, so there'd be no sense of alien intrusion.

No chance!

Ya know, RDOS has a point!

NOT my problem! I LIKE my hyPO sensitivity, and my hyPER sensitivity is something that I see as an ENVIRONMENTAL problem. THEY should fix it. One day I might sue to get PAID for it!



AGAIN, this is THEIR problem!



Why don't you help the NTs!?!?!?!?



AGAIN, NTs have problems there!



AGAIN, NTs have the same problems!



I'd rather they connect with ME!



I have no problems there.



Not worth it.



AGAIN, help the NTs FIRST!



NO THANKS!



In my own way, I often am.



Name one person that is!



HOW!?



Gee, what about those poor NTs?



NO THANKS! I wouldn't pay 0.10 for that!

If it was the other way around,
Would you accept 1 million dollars for getting or being tested on for a "cure"

I think I would say no

Because if I got a million dollars, I would not know what to spend it on if I lost my interests (my many, um one or two interests), or even who I am to some extent.

Personally, I think these type of questions are pointless.

1: Why would I pay to stay myself (as someone else noted)?
2: Okay, so no more [insert Aspie related concern here], given the fact that such is all I know, it would be a gamble to presume I would like the absence of such things any better than their presence.
2a: There is always a trade-off. So I won't be [insert trait]; instead I'll be [insert trait].


Call me crazy (seriously, I don't mind ) but these kind of questions often are based on the notion that things would be better. They might not, they may be equally problematic (just with different issues) or they could in fact be worse.

Can you please point me to the Right Planet boards? You know where NTs b***h about how miserable their lives are because they are normal.

Roughly 18% of the US population has been diagnosed with anxiety--which is caused by something. There are 300 million Americans (rounding to an even hundred) in the US, which puts the 18% at 54 million. Depending on how much you trust Wikipedia:

The prevalence of Asperger's is .3 per 1000 or 90,000 and the prevalence for ASD is 6 per 1000 or 1,800,00


Basically, according to readily retrieved data from Google, even if every single person currently diagnosed with ASD had anxiety, that would leave a whopping 52+ million people (NTs) suffering from anxiety as well (that's 17% or almost 1 in 5, not very low numbers).


Again, such questions only presume that life would be better, but don't guarantee it. It's tantamount to contemplating what I would do if I suddenly had a million dollars--it's nice for small talk but pointless in the long run.
