What would you choose to change or remove?
For me, it would be the sensory issues right now, as I find noise, more than anything, causes me to react badly.

I'd make myself able to handle large, loud crowds of people. That seems to be my worst AS problem.

Huh, that's a tough one. I guess it would be the sensory issues with my eyes. I don't mind flourescent lights one bit, but the sun is murder!

My resistance to change. If I could get over that, the demise of the Routemasters wouldn't bother me, and I'd actually be saving up to go to London, right now.

The sun is murder, exactly. Noise enrages me, but light terrifies me.

I'd want better executive functioning.

Not being overwhelmed at complicated tasks.

I'd like the ability to have a conversation with someone without making *them* feel nervous. I've largely conquered my own social anxiety, but I still put out body language and facial expressions that make talking to me awkward for everyone else.

The only thing I would want to change is my lack of social skills. I love being an aspie, I just wish I could better communicate my experiences to other people.

My face blindness (probably prosopagnosia), one of my memory's imperfections.

I'd want to be able to direct my obsessions. They almost always seem to be things just designed to prevent me from doing what I need to.

So many have given so many good choices. I guess mine is STILL social deficits.

I'm lucky in that most of my other problems aren't obvious, or too common a problem.

I'd have a fighting chance if I could just have a normal expression when I go out, but as it happens I tense up and look like I'm pissed off, or so everybody on the planet has told me.

It is hard to choose (provided that I am actually and Aspie)
Face blindness is annoying and embarrasing....and since I help run a music venue, it would be alot easier for me if I was not so sensitive to sound.

I also would change the sensory overload thing. The slightest sounds make me super aggressive, when NT people can't even hear them!
