You learn when to be NT and when to be an Aspie. This is called happiness


Thats ridiculous, as if you can just switch from aspie to NT at will....NT people can't 'be' aspies anymore than aspies can be neurotypicals.

Well then to me it is still ridiculous because even if I try to act NT, it doesn't work.
