Being different can be hard, but it's so much more interesting. Normality is BOOORING

I don't know if "pride" is the right word, but I'm glad I'm autistic.

True. Make sure you let her know that what she said was extremely offensive.

If she is a friend, she should accept you as you are.

You are who you are. Labels don't matter. It's not like if you were labeled NT you would suddenly become more shallow.

I'm proud to be me.

When I found out that by learning and practicing, we can do virtually anything NTs can do, I became sort of proud of my condition.

The original poster didn't specify whether he was offended. Also, I don't see anything in what she said that suggests that she doesn't accept the OP as he is.

I'm extremely proud to be an aspie. However, I am careful about who I tell. I've had bad experiences with telling people in the past. NTs don't really understand. I like to hold the cards until I really trust another person.
