Ok Enlighten me. Why would you WANT to be "normal"? I am nearing 60 and tried all my life to fit in. NOW I find out I'm aspie and the relief it just enormous. How boring to be normal and have to fit in and follow societies dictates. I celebrate the individualness of all people but I think aspies are very likely the next evolution in mankind. If not, they should be! Good grief... what if Einstein found a cure? Would he have been so brilliant? I don't ever want to be "normal". Just normal for me.

I agree with that.

You answered your own question: so you wouldn't have to try and fit in; you just would.

That's probably because you didn't fit in :P

We always demonize what we desire so it doesn't hurt as bad that we can't get it. Why would you try to fit in unless you wanted to? Do what feels natural.

How can we ever know? Why must we all attribute AS as the (sole) reason for our intelligence. Quite ironic.

Be careful though, a characteristic of those with AS is 'clumsy and uncoordinated motor movements' :P

Yeah, but in the case of Einstein we actually have a lot of evidence backing it up, from his own writing, to how he acted, to his family's history of ASD. I don't normally like these post-(can't think of the word so I'll just say 'death') diagnosis, but in the case of Einstein and Newton they actually sound really convincing.

Oh, and thanks to the poster that said they've already tried lentils! I don't even know what those are, but now I don't have to try them.

If you don't know, you probably shouldn't ask.




CURE!?! We don't need your stinkin' cure.


Seriosly though, how much lentils must one eat to be cured? I think I would prefer my AS to eating that many lentils.

That is interesting, but I doubt eating lentils would make me feel different. Of course maybe that's me saying that because I can't imagine what it's like to be "normal." Still I don't think you can eat something and poof be "normal," even if just for a few days because "normal" isn't really a concrete way of being. I could see it helping with anxiety or stress though.

OK honestly a doctor came on my local news where I live and says it helps but then there are different cases I'm number 10 on the scale which means I can pass as a normal person that is what the doctor said when he rediagnosed me I was diagnosed three times but lentils and fish because they have Omega 3 in it and it is something to do with the Omega 3 it was tested on someone with it as well so I am serious I'm not stupid I do not lie I am the truth try it yourself you will be lessed stress try it when you have a lot of issues then you suddenly don't care about them you don't get agree obsession goes you become what the world says normal


I would like to introduce you to the concept of a run on sentence. Believe me, punctuation can be your friend!
