I was diagnosed with both autism and "brain damage" before the age of 5.

Hey I wish I had brain damage or down syndrome instead of aspergers them I would deal with less problems. What do you think of that?


I would say that you are not happy about having aspergers and think almost anything would be better. That is not true, of course, but I get the point.

Having experience with a wide range of developmental disabilities including brain damage, I think it unlikely anyone would actually prefer brain damage, or even down syndrome, to aspergers if that person had the chance to actually experience these choices. In general, other people's problems seem less than our own...but there is so much that we don't see from the outside.
