Go to a party. Make friends.

I'd just like to do something normal for a girl my age.

I'd go and test out my new "skills" ....but at the same time, miss all of my AS related talents.

sinsboldly, 's funny you should mention that; When he started trolling that other thread I immediately thought of posting "heading for his thirties and still a virgin 'issues' ". But thought better of it; I'm too kind for my own good...

I'd develop a social life.

So 30% of respondants would kill themselves, but only one wants to go into detail about exactly why? Hmph. This is why I hate teasing.

If it suddenly became obvious what I'd been doing wrong socially, and that I could have easily done better instead of incessantly whining about never having kissed a girl, I would feel like such an ass that I'd immediately decide to off myself and hope I remembered this new insight upon next reincarnation.

Actually, I'd want to make my death as horrible as possible in hopes of causing a cataclism that could warp me back through time in order to do this life over again (yeah, I know this only makes sense to me), so my method would be to get engaged to the wealthiest, shallowest, hottest woman around my age possible, then have the most elaborate wedding imaginable. And just as I lift the veil and stare lovingly into her eyes before the big kiss, I instead whip out the automagnum from my pocket and blast my brains out onto our families. I'd actually have hurt a social ritual, like all the others that have tripped me up over the years, and there'd be so much confusion it might become an urban legend.

Or is it already? Has anyone ever heard of this happening?

You try it and a few weeks later you are a NT.

What's the next step? what's the first thing you'd do?

Omfg I've done that so much. But still, no answers

I would clean the hell out of my room (assuming it suddenly became easier to start such a task). Then I'd go get my damn driver's license.

I'm surprised no one suggested go right back into being aspie, cuz that was the first thing i actually did.

probably make some friends.. I don't see how you'd give up any of the knowledge and abilities you have by being 'cured'. It'd just be a big emptiness being filled. At my age, things probably wouldn't change too much...

I'd think about hanging myself. Then I'd look at whether I liked the new me and check out the changes that result from a 'cure'. Then I'd decide whether or not to use Google to find an easy way to check out. After that I'd probably go out and have a drink. I'd need one.
