If you could either become NT or get a million dollars

If you could either become neurotypical or get a million dollars which would you choose?

I'd choose neither. A bit more money would be nice but I'm not poor and get by and I like who I am so don't want to change.

Neurological?

I'd become NT.

Oh, you edited...

Why would I choose to get rid of myself?
Becoming NT is one of my worst fears because I couldn't be both me and NT.
A million dollars on the other hand would be useful.

Definitely a million dollars so I could look after my loved ones , I doubt being an NT would help this late in life

^ sorry, private joke.

If the choice was to become neurologically perfect, I would definitely choose that one!

I'd want a million dollars. I'd rather have financial security over being an NT.

Something I don't want at all or something I'd definitely like? Hard choice!

I'd take that lovely beautiful million (or 8,4 million as that'd be in my currency) any day.

So where do I sign up for my million $?



For an actual hard question: Would I stay me and get no million or become NT and receive a million? Now that's a hard choice.

I have LOTS of disabilities besides my Aspergers so even if I were to become NT, I'd still s#ck with life & need to be on benefits most likely. I'd much rather have the million. Me & my girlfriend could have a decent house in a quieter area which would be alot less stressful for her & it'll help her mental health. I could probably also pay off our debt.

If I do have Asperger's, I wouldn't want to get rid of the positive traits, but I would want to get rid of anxiety and other problems that go along with the AS. I would like to have greater independence and a more intuitive sense of social situations, so I can someday have a dating life and get married to a kind, understanding man.

I'd take the million. The possibility of not having to worry about food ever again is really nice. Besides, I wouldn't want to be NT no matter what.

"Becoming NT" would mean killing the me that exists now, so that's not happening. But I could really use that money.

Hmm, that is a tough one. Being neurotypical will mean fitting in better and being invited out with work colleagues, which is what I'd love to experience. I don't think one million dollars will go very far these days, with the lifestyle I'd want with it.

Hmm, I think I'll choose to be neurotypical, because money doesn't always buy happiness but being included among peers and having friends does. But then again, I do have a boyfriend and my family. But I'm not a greedy person, although I'd like to help my family out financially. It'd be nice to be able to afford to get my mum private treatment for her cancer, because I'd rather my mum be cured of cancer than me being cured of Asperger's.

I'm not interested in becoming NT. No thanks. Maybe I'd have chosen that option when I was a kid. The world inside my head has been better than any NT dominated world. I don't think I would trade it. In fact, it may sound silly, but at times I've felt guilty keeping it mostly to myself!

A million dollars doesn't go as far as it used to though. I'd still find uses for it.

I chose a million dollars, but I would have also picked a thousand dollars or a hundred dollars over being totally neurotypical. My life is far from perfect and I have many insecurities because of my ASD characteristics, but at the end of the day I wouldn't sell my soul to be someone else. Besides, I love you guys too much to defect from WP.
