Cure NTs

Post Reply New Topic

mls, how do you propose I resolve the competing desires of (1.) Zoonic that I take it personally, and (2.) yourself, that I do not ? Shall I flip a coin ? Heads, I shall endeavor to take it personally; tails, I shall not ? It is roughly a 50-50% probability, averaged out over random flips.

I have not disclosed how I take it. Or do you believe you can you *read* my unspoken feelings on the subject, despite my being a savant autie ?

Do you think I have received lesser second-class legal education and training on the (allegedly) insane, as compared to others of my peers ?

Perhaps, but I can do so all I want and it still does not make me able to better use paper print or use telephones by *abracadabra* rewiring the functionality of my brain just on your whim. Autism is the part of me that makes these impairments part of who and what I am. Blind people can pretend they are not sight impaired, as well, but if they run across an extremely busy highway without seeing-eye dog or someother assistance, their denial of the reality of their condition is likely to result in them being flattened motionless in the roadway half-way across.

Someone can hit me with the sudden aversive smell of garlic, and I will go into instant and immediate sensory overload. Another reality of my autism condition. This is part of who and what I am. do you want to characterize autistic oversensitivities part of "personality ?" I regard it as somewhat more of an autonomic arousal reaction.

But to each their own. And hopefully for the peace and betterment of mankind, we can all find a way to get along.

Alphabetania, sadly, I don't have very many nice clothes at this particular time, due to some bit of clothing theft (which I am not getting into), but I always loved to dress up. Yes, maybe like a character or a costume, but just because I really like clothes and like to dress up ! It makes me feel good (with the caveat I don't like certain textures like pure wool and scratchy starched laced-patterns), and I do like nice and interesting clothes. But, I don't really get dressed up or like to get dressed up as a game or to pretend/play some fictional part. I just used to dress up a lot for formal attire parties, horse show competitions, sports, ballet performance, professional engagements, parties, dates, and *just because.* That's not to say I would not dress in a costume if I were given a part in a play, but when I dress up it usually has a purpose, not just some game or pretend thing.

Unless, I were sharing a deliberate intentional adult game play fantasy with someone and in that case I might indulge sharing with the other in dressing up specially, but in that case, a little known fact about me is in the struggle to earn a paycheck I was trained in a job (not an illegal activity) to impersonate slaves and dominatrixes, black women, PG13 conversations, and linger a conversation with another long enough to keep the person on the line for a maximum of 16.5 minutes to earn the highest rate of pay average for an hr. I had great difficulty with such conversational skills, but it is amazing the learning curve one can accomplish with desperation for the maximum (legal) paycheck one can earn to pay for one's autism service horse for the ability of an autie to use language.

What do you do if it's not a secret?

Please explain. I did not use the word "secret" did I ?

What is your job?

Interesting you state it as a negative, kinda hedges the bets as to causation a bit, doesn't it ? Since autism and Aspergers are still such a mystery. Or, as Winston Churchill put it: a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

Was. Past tense, not present. If I tell you, I will have to confess-all to the bar examiners of activity, while perfectly legal, is a bit atypical in the resume of an examinee -- and I am not sure I can talk about it without bursting into peels of laughter or embarassing the heck out of the sensitivities of the examiners. While it is mandatory to disclose, no one says it cannot be relegated to a mere footnote of history.

Also, I'm inherently very shy.

But in the job, I did learn through my mentors, the art of tantalization and stringing-along the tease. I don;t have problems talking about it, but first you need to tell me the rating of this forum. Is it PG13 ? R ? Or X ?

I won't have time to read all that until later this weekend, but my eye fell on something in one of the recent messages which is prompting me to respond to what appeared to be a misconception about me. I thought I should clear it up:

I am an Aspie. I do not wish I had been born a neurotypical.

From what exactly?

From themselves?

I'm sorry, but this is just downright cruel.
I'd never cure anyone I knew of being themselves.

Hasn't stopped others trying on me though .

My experiences are things that I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy.
So no, please don't cure NTs.

Don't cure my old friends: they're fine as they are.

These are great ideas. Many NTs suffer from difficulties with focusing, or from the so-called multitasking symptom.
Another idea to a cure:
Lots of caseine and gluten
... and mercury!

this is possibly the only non silly post in this entire thread.

Come on, now. No one in this thread is even being remotely serious. The point was to imagine and whimsically speculate about a world where the "tables would be turned."

Well, except the left turn that this discussion briefly took.
