Life wouldn't be easier, but it would be a bit easier than being an Aspie, simply because I don't do things subconsciously what most NTs do. Conforming is one of them. Not every single NT conforms, but most do, and it seems to be something they subconsciously know how I do, whereas I've got to keep asking if this is all right and if that is all right, and I just wish I just automatically learnt through childhood.

I know that people (especially women, not so much men) do criticise and comment on others, especially the unpopular, like myself. And because I will never be popular in my entire life, I bet people backstab me terribly. I get the impression that people do, especially when you get a really bitchy woman where you work, one who everybody sucks up to and believe that they can't do no wrong, and if you find any fault in them (which I've found loads in this woman) everybody sticks up for her and makes excuses. And I know she is a backstabber. I've heard her backstabbing other people, not only about their personality, but also about their appearence. And my appearence screams out ''Non-Conformist!! !'' so I am 100 percent positively certain that she also backstabs me about how I look. I've been going around with a monobrow, and all this time I've never realised that where I come from, women pluck their eyebrows, especially if they have got a monobrow, otherwise other people perceive you as ''bloke-ish'' or ''a person who doesn't bother about their appearence''. Thank god I shown at work that I am crazy over men, otherwise they would have mistaken me for a lesbian or something. And that is just one of many examples of how I go out looking like. I just wish I had learnt all these conformist rules earlier, and was more determined to keep at them. If I was NT, I would be more able to know how to look nice and feminine without having to write everything down. :roll:

Wow, I must be the only one here who truly hates having AS.


I've suffered more from being a lesbian than from being an Aspie, and for 35 years I didn't know I was an Aspie, I just thought I was eccentric. If my experience had been different, I might answer in the affirmative.

No. I would not try it. If such a thing existed, I would not be interested.

Might as well, as long as it for sure wears off.

I'm really curious as to why people ask these kind of questions; questions proposing scenarios which will never occur. It's rather like asking how my life will change when the leprechauns appear with their pots of gold at the bottom of my garden. Completely pointless.

I'm all for exploring realistic possibilities and sounding out the views and attitudes of others but this kind of make believe strikes me as odd.

What do you expect to gain? Am I missing something? Just genuinely curious.


What we gain through such discussions is learning something of other perspectives on the world, and on autism.

I would honestly because life would be easier. I dislike being aspie, I wish I didnt have to think so hard about things. Yeah I'd be a different person but sometimes I dont really care sometimes.

I think this is my personality and i like it. In fact, i don't want to be like others. So why to be cured? To be a social monkey?
They would have to change all my thoughts and perspective upon life. Maybe even my intelligence. Insulting :rambo:

Thou shalt not be possible. :lol:

You wouldn't want to learn other people's perspectives?
