AIDS. Heck, I'd rather lose a foot than have AIDS. At least if you lose a foot, you can get a prosthetic and be done with it.

Ever heard the saying "Be careful what you wish for". Let's put it this way, there are lot's of things out there that are worst the having aspergers. Yes I agree. asperger's sucks but just be glad that things aren't much worst.

Shame I have both

I would rather have Asperger's (alone), than live in pain and exhaustion all the time.

You and me both.

Ha, I was going to mention AIDS. While the crazy expensive drugs generally allow for an average life span, if you can't afford them for a short period of time, every one of the awful symptoms of AIDS returns in full force. If you stay on the meds, the symptoms can be worse than the earlier stages of the disease. Not to mention the social stigma. Though I still think someone with AIDS would find it easier to foster a healthy relationship than a typical Aspie.

Don't forget the fact that if you carry the HIV virus, traces of it can show up in pretty much all of your bodily fluids, even your saliva. Now while the risk of contracting HIV from saliva is quite minimal, I would still feel terrible essentially being a walking disease vector, and possibly putting everyone else around me at risk.
