I fail to see what being an aspie or being NT has to do with that.
What do you think the difference is between them and me?
The difference as far as I've experienced is that aspies or autistics in general have a far harder experience in life due to our differences. Since you're an aspie, my assumption would be that your brain interprets virtually everything in a fundamentally different way from NTs. As a species, we are fundamentally attached to the sociology of our respective cultures. The natural sociological reaction of an aspie is innately different from the nature reaction of a NT. This is what makes us "odd" to them, and in most human cultures, people don't like what they find to be "odd". They want similarity. I mean, you do know that having Aspergers and being socially ostracized and lonely are common problems for aspies right?
Not this aspie.
I don't see the point in comparing myself to others and putting myself apart.
I'm odd and people still like me.
If they don't, I'm not too worried.
When I said I couldn't believe anyone would choose to be aspie, it's like would you choose to make yourself deaf or have irritable bowel syndrome?
Of course you wouldn't.
Why then Aspergers?
I don't get it.
