Do you hate having ASD and wish you were neurotypical ?

Since realising that I am ‘on the spectrum, (having been assessed and diagnosed) which of course explains and gives reason for my behaviour and way of thinking, nonetheless, I’ve come to bitterly regret being this way - to the extent of feeling cursed. Does anybody else feel this way and would you - as I do - take a safe cure for it, if there was one? I’d hate to think I was alone in this regard.

    I can’t imagine having a different mind. I know my career would never have been as successful without my autistic “strengths”.

    But the social and wellbeing cost has been too great so if I could turn the clock back and take a pill that would make me “ordinary” then I think I would.
