Ever take a bunch of Xanax? Like a huge dose? Or ectasy like my mother once did? That clear head and attention span is what NT people feel every day. They don't have to pay attention to every single thing they do to get it right. I would trade an IQ of 200 for not feeling mental and sensory torture in my body every single day.


Most aspies dont feel "mental and sensory torture" every single day either. You have some kinda comorbid that most of us dont have.

NT's have to pay attention, too.

They might have the "natural" skills, but they very often don't use these skills.

When they're out of practice, they have to pay attention, at times, as much as people on the Spectrum.

I diagnosed with Asperger's A year ago. I go married in 1982 because I thought I was supposed to. I really did not have any desire to be close to anyone and was happy to be alone. Then I had 3 children because I thought that was what I was supposed to do. I learned all that from watching other people, TV and reading books. My kids paid the price for it. I did not want to be touched by them and I did not want any physical contact with them. They got very little affection from me. Knowing what I know now I would of never got married and not had children. Hope that this helps.

I have taken extasy as well as straight MDMA(basically extasy that's not cut with anything else) and it's a very nice drug, and I am convinced it does not replicate how neurotypicals generally feel.

That's for sure.

Ninety eight percent of the folks who take that stuff are neurotypicals!

Why would NTs bother with an illegal substance that just made them feel the same way they feel all of the time?

:lol:

We are all designed to breed.
All of our ancestors, every single one of them, since the first humans and before, bred at least once.
How could we beat those odds. :rabbit:

Likely because women who are often protected by certain factors continue to pass down broken genes and mutations.
We also have to take into account humans are horribly inbred. A group of 55 chimpanzees has more genetic diversity than all 7 billion of us.

Autism and aspergers are possibly a result of constant inbreeding by the continued existence of humanity not having enough diversity.

There is less genetic diversity in humans because the populations multiply so quickly while the gene pool remains relatively the same.

Then what do they feel? Have you tried methylone like the poster in that link I keep mentioning?

I just want to not have to consciously control everything all the time!

Methylone seems to come with some risks. Most drugs do, however.

Not so sure about this. "Sensory torture" is a pretty good description of life at the Classic Autism end of the spectrum, by all accounts. Many of us in the middle of the spectrum do have mild to substantial sensory problems. Maybe the strict Aspergers definition doesn't include that, but... we ain't all Aspies here, in that case. And some very unpleasant mental states do follow on from the difficulties of an autistic life. I doubt I'd have spent large parts of my life in a state of suicidal depression otherwise.

There are a few people that really believe our type are not meant to breed to control overpopulation, that's why there are so many gay or asexual Aspies.

I'm pretty f*****g good at breeding. It only takes once. Marriage and long term relationships are another issue entirely.
