On the subject of how to word your question, perhaps this: “If you had the chance to permanently become neurotypical, would you take it?”

I personally would not since I don’t see a reason too. Being NT wouldn’t get rid of my problems, it would just give me different ones. I may have to work to produce facial expressions, but neurotypical people have to work to control theirs. If I’m in a situation where it would be inappropriate to laugh and something funny occurs, I can just not. I once sat quietly through a hilarious funeral. Family told me I was “serious”, “respectful”.

Anyway, being NT provides a “feel” for all the little rules of social interaction that I learn manually. But I’d still have to follow those rules or face the consequences of violation. I’m already autistic, may as well keep it that way.

Lovely sheep. Seeing his giant eyes makes me smile.
