If you weren't born autistic, how do you think you'd be?

If I didn't have Asperger's, I would be more social, confident, and open to other people. I would also be able to hold a job. I'll still keep some of the traits that I have now, such as the fact that I was a straight-A student and am currently married.

Probably all my negative thoughts wouldn't be bottled up and I would be a murderous psychopath.

Like most NT's, I'd probably be an as*hole happy in his ignorance.

I think I'd be terribly bored, especially if trapped in the conventional normative lifestyle of obsessive consumerism and superficial socialising like a mouse on a treadmill going nowhere, and I would have had to live without a particular interest in all the big exciting concepts which endlessly inspire me with wonder. The neighbour's high powered leaf blower could blast away though and maybe I wouldn't even notice and my overall physical health would have been much more robust. Most of the NTs whom I know well have had much less interesting/diverse lives than mine, and they envy me, rather than the other way around.

I Would've been overly promiscuous and had addiction issues, would've gotten pregnant young and married someone abusive, and would've grown out of all that adolescent tomfoolery in my 20s and left my husband and taken the kids and gone back to college and made something of myself as an independent woman without so much fear and anxiety.

Well, half of it worked out the same anyhow. The half before "would've grown out of all that adolescent tomfoolery". (Thankfully I don't have the addiction issues either for the most part, excluding caffeine and routine.)

Oh wait...

i would probably not be posting on some other forum in a thread called If you were born autistic, how do you think you'd be?

I'd have a career and most likely be married - all I ever wanted from life.
