Would u take a pill that would make you normal for a day?

This is completely hypothetical since something like this would probably never exist but is more of a what if.

What and miss out on a uniqe perspective umong neurotypicals? Not on your life!

I choose that if I liked the pill I would continue to take it. I could use it in certain situations, like dating.

I could use the pill everyday. Maybe it make things easier for me at work and a better employee. I will still have AS because I would have to keep taking the pill to keep my mind working the NT way. Nothing wrong with that.

I'll try anything once. Or twice.
By the third time, it's not trying anymore. If I continue, I must like it!

But, I mean, it would be worth a try, just for the sake of curiosity.

I am curous to see how the other side thinks. I would also take a pill be female, another race, or a child, or an elderly person, if I could try it for a day.

I think AS is a different way of looking at the world. And to counter what God intended for me to be, I think is defying God's will.

You would either end up living a lie or your partner would find out that you aren't showing your true colours and dump you.

How can anyone tell any difference in a day, anyway my symptoms are apart of who I am - so no do not want to be someone else not even for a day, as just found the real me, and like being an aspie now I understand.

My AS traits affect me every single day, and just one day of normalcy must be vastly different from what I know now.
If a pill could stop me from spending the whole day at home because I'm to anxious to go out and interact with people and too sensitive to the environments I'll be entering, then I think I'd definitely notice the difference.

My AS is less bothersome than most, so no, I'd stay the same.

I would love to try it out once, but there's no way I'm going to be taking it everyday/regularly. I can't stand the thought of having to live off the effects of pills for the rest of my life.*


*Disclaimer: I know there are several people who do legitimately require medication to survive in life, I have close family who are in that situation. I'm okay with that, and I support the need for medical means of making the remainder of one's life more comfortable. I just don't want to do it to myself unless it was absolutely necessary.

Not for a million dollars.

I'd try it for a day, out of curiosity - I've always wanted to know how NTs see the world. But I don't think I'd take it regularly. I like being the way I am. It causes problems sometimes, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages - and besides, I don't want to get rid of a big part of who I am. The AS (or whatever I have - I'm not 100% sure it's AS, but it probably is) isn't just about having problems in social situations and not being able to understand certain things; it's a part of how I think and how I see the world, and I don't want to change that.

I wouldn't take it, I'd spike my (NT) sister's drink with it, see what side effects happen (DOUBLE NT!?!).

I'd take it for a day, and if I liked it, I'd continue taking it.

I would try it once and that is all.

I have always been curious about how NT's think. By taking the pill, I would get the chance to see if I were really missing out on things by having AS, or if I preferred to have AS.

I could never stay taking the pill forever though, even if I did like the effects of it. Otherwise, I would be living as another person and all of the people who know me, would have to get to know me all over again.
