...one day to tell someone about my AS and have them actually believe me or see a point in it, rather than going:

'oh no, you don't have anything. You just have to stop being so aggressive / or pushy / or not pushy enough / or shy / or not shy enough / or self-centered / or not self-centered enough / or smart / or stupid'

Well that sounds like it would be nice.

I think it would be nice if people on noticing my little differences would stop trying to put it down to the latest psycho-babble they just read in a book.

I wouldn't mind being born with an orange bracelet on my right wrist that signals to everybody that I'm autistic and makes them accept it without thinking further, even if they're unsure about the exacts of autism or wouldn't like me because of it. But by this, I'd be able to tell everybody the truth and there would be no misconception about me. I can't begin to express how much I hate misconceptions.

Wouldn't it be nice to listen to Pet Sounds on vinyl?

And to be accepted without excessive judgment and all that good stuff.

People believe me all the time :P
Maybe I'm just really lucky or you know a lot of nasty people?

It would be nice, if that could happen. I've been waiting for that day, my whole life.
