Yeah I agree, aspieness invites negative things such as bullying and misunderstanding, but it also gives us gifts, like the ability to accomplish good academic results and the different behaviour.
I don't have anything against NT's, but I am actually thankful for my condition. Though the social part of it can be a bit of a hindrance, I excel in many other areas without trying. I managed to score an 800 on the math part of the SAT without studying, and am a fairly talented composer.
I have no problem with having AS itself. But I wish I rather was an aspie with high IQ, good look, good skills in math, physics, chemistry and biology.
If I had thoose skills it would not matter if I was NT or had AS.
