if life is like a video game then would u agree that having AS is like playing life on 'hard mode' and being NT is like being on easy or normal mode?

Just think about when you play a video game and are on easy mode how much more simpler and straightforward it is too complete it.

would u agree with what i am saying?

I understand it, and even agree with it (to a degree), but it must be kept in mind that there are many disadvantages in life even greater than having AS. Simply being NT is no guarantee of an easier life.

I disagree because everybody has their problems, whether they're AS or NT.

It is hard to compare the difficulty of your life to someone elses

I think there are many more factors than being on the spectrum or not to how hard life is.

It really depends because each person with AS is an individual and we have different strengths compared to the average NT, for instance in some cases, we're better at systematizing and giving attention to detail so you can look at it from various angles. Being NT doesn't somehow make you perfect, they do have better emotional maturity and can process quicker socially but they also experience pain, struggle, insecurities, financial problems, marriage problems and pain.

Yeah. But if you kill a boss in hard mode, you get better treasure.

Actually, I'd compare it to the detective mode in "Batman: Arkham Asylum". We get so interested in finding guys with guns or locked doors or sniper rifle laser sights that we forget to look around and see the beautifully rendered world painstakingly created for us, so when someone says, "Hey, did you see the attention to detail on that portrait of Warden Sharpe?" or "Wasn't the voice acting great on the interview files?" all we remember are shades of blue.
