Proud to pass as NT?

I have trouble expressing what I mean in this video, as you can tell. What I mean to say is that it is sad to walk around feeling like you have to try to pass as NT, and feeling good about it if you are successful. We are aspie and should be proud. It's a gift, not a curse. Here's the link to the video I was referring to:

Mira What the hell is normal? See im supposed to be normal but being abstract in mind I am wondering how you chipped that one tooth? Your face was overly flushed red in this vid too. See there is no norm the more you find out about people the more little differences come out. So forget fitting in its not possible because you cant control thought and people will think what they want I SAY SCREW EM IF THEY CANT TAKE JOKE!!!!!!!!

@ajushi10 You wondered how I chipped my tooth. I was pushed by a boy in 1st grade onto my face on the asphalt, removing my upper lip, and chipping up my teeth. Fun stuff.

@ajushi10 Also my face was flushed because I have a skin disorder.

We cannot pass as NT-some very unobservant NTs may not spot you are different but the majority of them will though they say nothing.

@xdr8390 yeah, NTs are really good at not saying anything about things sometimes. Like they won't tell you if you have a booger hanging outta your nose. LOL

Hi, I understand how you feel. I had a similar revelation a week ago. But one thing to keep in mind, is that everyone hides their "true" personalities to a certain extent when we're out in the world. It's how societies function. Us aspies just have to do this a lot more than the NTs.

The best thing we can do with those who have been diagnosed with Aspberger's Syndrome is to kill them. Only normal people deserve to live.

Hello Mia. I am a 31 year-old Aspie male and I can really relate to what you said about being proud to pass as NT. Most of the time it's easy for me because I'm so high-functioning. I don't even think about it most of the time.

I couldn't help but smile when you said you still skip in the office now & again lol

I have always had the tendency to do certain 'things' spontaneously.

The last time was after a team meeting at work, we'd already had 3 that day, I decided my legs had done enough walking back and forth, so I remained sitting on my chair, which was a computer chair, and pushed myself with my feet down the corridor, across the main office into my little office =) people looked very confused lol

I thought about this the other day. I only recently got diagnosed. I'm 20 so I've had to grow up in absolute mystery as to why I was always the weird one. What seems normal to me and what seems to make sense to me in my head doesn't seem to click with others at all and they laugh and act surprised when I talk about stuff sometimes. I hate pretending to be normal. It's a nerve-racking stage act. I keep getting it wrong. I'd rather be myself and let the pretenders be the weird ones for a change.
