Have you ever wondered

Post Reply New Topic

Just a thought when I was getting a take away ealier and whilst someone sitting next to me was whistling Christmas Song in May which was annoying

Have you ever thought of meeting yourself but without AS of some kind and see what you are like and compare the differences

I know I proberbly don't make sense at all it's just the way I'm typing it sometimes when I talk to people it comes out like that

that would be cool
I could ask him what my life would have been like without it

I've never thought about it before... But it sure sounds interesting.

I probably wouldn't be much different.

I'd take myself out for ice cream.

i always fantasize i have a twin brother, we go out regularly

yeah id likely tell him to f off.

I have a twin and she's NT so I guess that's my answer.

Sounds interesting - and a little scary!

SteveK, I do not usually tell anyone, but......My father died when I turned 12 after a serious 4 year illness (osteo sarcoma). I had older parents of European descent, btw. My father was neurotypical; a successful charismatic man with kindness (he understood me and was probably more kind than anyone to me ever). His only brother, 6 yrs older, was profoundly autistic, entirely mute, and institutionalized his entire life. My father and his brother looked like identical twins. And, I look like the very feminine form of my father - same coloring (dark blond hair, green eyes, pale/yellowish skin, other features, etc.). When my father referred to his brother, which was rarely, he was the Doppelganger (= the other side; two halves to the whole). They had the same first name. I met the Doppelganger. To me, an autistic child, I was massively confused: Computational Error....I "made the switch" somehow and thought the Doppelganger was my father (by definition, one in the same, two halves to the whole). So confusing......especially after my father was dead and I visited the institution.

Maybe this was too revealing - I still struggle with this. Which is which?

Yeah if I had an NT replica of myself I wonder how much our interests, views on life and lifestyles in general would vary. If you ask me that's kinda spooky to think about how different I may have been if I did not have Aspergers.

Sounds interesting

I think that meeting myself as an NT would be scary, I think some of my best atributes are BECAUSE i have AS, and I would most likely be a boring kid with no life, because i would have nothing important to do, no wrongplanet, no books written by me, no drawing ability, no me...

I don't want to speculate on that. I would hope that I had the same academic abilities, but wouldn't have been as nervous. Maybe I would have accomplished much more with my life.
