Umm... most people don't cry when their kids are born. Most people are either exhausted or glad their fingers are no longer being squeezed off by somebody in labor. I'd expect some combination of relief and happiness; but crying with joy is a paradoxical reaction that not everybody gets. Why should you think you have to react in some specific way for it to be acceptable?

Are you serious??? It's not about "acceptable"; it's about feeling the full range of joy and sorrow that make up the human experience. I can write about it and read about it but I am typically numb to actually feeling it.

Your statement is what I THINK - but digger1's post is what I WANT to feel.

Incidently, my husband and I both cried at our daughter's birth. We're both aspie's and it was incredible. I highly recommending experiencing that kind of emotion at least once in your life.

i would kill someone to get to that bottle of pills

Awww, sweetie...totally understand. If there'd been something available when I was in my late teens, I'd have taken it in a second.

Don't listen to all of us "old farts" who are set in our ways and distrust the idea...

Hang in there. :cry:

Wouldn't take it, I don't need or want it.
I'm already fairly "NT" as it is,
and I like the things about me that make me stand out.
I don't want to be like everyone else.

I would get it tested to see if it was poisonous or something. How would I know it was really an nt pill? Besides, I'd be afraid of what I might lose.

I wouldn't bother. It would probably turn out to be a placebo anyway.

the cool thing about placebos is that you can't tell if it was a placebo as long as it worked :p

I would not take it, autism has made me who I am today despite the difficulties I have had. I am a unique person without even trying, and I would not give that up to be "normal"

This seems to sum up the main sentiment of this thread, and I agree with it wholeheartedly. Although I'm somewhat on the milder side when it comes to the negative or limiting cognitive symptoms of AS, I would imagine that such a pill would cause more problems than it would fix.

I would ask if it belonged to somebody. I'm not going to take medication that was not prescribed to me. Or I'll let my pill popping friends take it with their next hit of gin or vodka.

I'd save the NT-pill for a very special day,

Then I'd pop the pill, put on a baseball cap, and go flunk a math exam.

After that, I'd go get a big greasy cheeseburger and fries at a sports bar where i would
periodically exclaim "YES!! !"

Absolutely hilarious!

I would flush that pill down the toilet real quick. But first I would say to my grandchildren, "See this, it's an NT pill. Never ever let anyone talk you into taking one. Just say "No." :lol:

Not this topic again.

Look, I know you're new and you mightn't know, but we've had this same question a million times over and the responses are always the same. Please just use the search function.

I'm old and I didn't know I'm supposed to research before posting a question or idea. That's intimidating, really.

This sounds like what Morpheus ask Neo in -The Matrix-. I would not take the pill. I consider AS a gift, not a problem.

Depends on my mood.

If I was going through one of my depressed phases I would probably smash the thing to little peices whilst screaming about how the world is trying to change me.

If I was in a good mood, I guess I would either dispose of it or find someone who was desperate for a cure. Just because I don't want it doesn't mean someone else won't.
