You may not like having Aspergers, but you know, being NT doesn't equal a perfect life. I know a lot of NTs, and I think I'm doing better than many of them.
Also, I don't think many people see at s ... |

The behaviours seem like they might be quite similar to Aspergers, but apart from that, it doesn't really strike me as similar, or at least only as much as ADHD does.
