I'm suprised by how few 'yes' responses there has been, especially when one considers the usual output of the Haven. I do wonder if you ask it there if you'd get different answers.

I would not push such a magic red button. Aspergers is such a massive part of my personality that to remove it - I wouldn't be me any more! I might have had a life with less problems without Aspergers but I'd also have been without the positive things too.

Yeah I would definitely push it. But then again I'm not 100% sure I have it. I don't fit the criteria anymore so if i did have it its not a huge disability anymore.

and Id guess pushing it wouldnt do anything to me for a long time since a lot of my behaviours would be ingrained already.

Buttons, brains and bright shiny beads topic

No.

That was easy, as they tell you at Staples Business Depot. :P

That's a tough one.

Even though there's just about nothing I like about Aspergers, I feel sort of unique and I know that i'm not an average boring person.

So I probably wouldn't.
