Cure:-
. my fast growing paranoia when I'm not feeling happy
. my deceptability to rage when people act a certain way on a certain subject that I get mixed up with thinking it's a knock on me/my aspie ways.
. my lack of academic motivation
. my very obvious negative vibes when negative

Keep: -
. social bravery, healthy competitiveness
. practical motivation
. my strange tactical approach to almost everything. :roll: :D
. my big mood swings... although there are things about it I hate, there are also things about it I love, including the fact that it can go wrong from time to time... it's just a crazy experience sometimes. lol

My immune issues. I'm tired of allergies, IBS, fatigue...

But then, if their cure meant somehow my mind would change (i.e., losing some of my abilities) then no go.

WOW, Almost all of the above. But if I could get rid of some hypersensitivity, and improve my social life, it would be great.

Sometimes I REALLY wonder what a psychiatrist would think. Like today at a new restaurant, or a couple days ago at the doctor, I felt SO wierd, like an alien, I don't know how often it happens, but it happens FAR too often.

What I would like to cure especially is my inability to recognize faces and remember names. Bullies got away with harrassment way too much because I could never recognize who they were (unless there's something very distinctive about them). Then again, they hadn't recognized me for a couple days when I had gotten my hair cut from long to short! lol

I'd also love to get rid of my hypersensitivty to pain. Even just a slight bruise will get me to scream my head off. :roll:

Hmmm, there's two ways to look at this.

I'm very happy with my near compulsive obsession with order, I like having my lists, and schedules. I wouldn't want to change it, because the thought of not living like that is scary. However, it doesn't work well with others, as it makes me rather inflexible, and that's a major social hinderance. So I wish the rest of the world would be "cured", but that's not going to happen, so I wonder if I should sacrifice it. It's a moot point because I can't anyway, but the idea is that there's things I don't want to change that are holding me back anyway. As I get older, I can come to terms with it easier, and instead of being bothered by the dissonance between my personality and desire for social acceptance, I embrace my (natural) personality over (forced) social interaction.

I do wish I could stop biting my nails, and could project a confidant attitude. There's nothing to be gained there, and it sure holds me back professionally.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied though.

EXECTUIVE FUNCTIONING 8O

it is sooooo bad......bloody hell..

and the anxiety and spatial issues that make it almost impossible for me to learn to drive...

i have not been having so much touble with meltdowns....I OD on omegas and green tea and that seems to help that a whole lot.

And I guess that most of the major symptom I would like to cure has more to do with ADD...i.e. the complete and utter lack of organizational abilities...but maybe that is related to executive dysfunction.....

I wish I could enthusiastically hold a casual conversation, so I didn't feel like such a dork when people are trying to talk to me! More importantly though, I wish tiny noises didn't bother me so much, so I could fall asleep more easily and not get annoyed so much. Most of all, I wish the meltdowns would stop... I feel like I'm way too old not to be able to handle frustration.
