    I don’t really think you’re reading what I’m saying. You have an incredibly narrow view of ASD that seems to revolve entirely around your more fortunate outcome. I mean, good for you, I’m glad it’s worked out for you and where you fall on the spectrum has conveyed more benefit than any negatives.

    I will counter-argue that your position on ND implies it offers more benefits than challenges. I strongly disagree with this and refer back to the “lottery” comment. You won. There are plenty of losers. Don’t suggest it’s a game worth playing unless you can prove that everyone with ASD is a winner. I sincerely doubt you can.

      I never claimed otherwise. I never claimed the benefits outweigh the challenges. It is absolutely a case-by-case thing.

      But also, I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say, as nobody really has a choice whether or not they “play the game”
