If there was a cure for our condition, would you want your AS to be cured?
At this precise moment. No.
But when I get overwhelmed with not being able to express my self. Yes. I hate that feeling and I hate sensory overload because the same thing can happen - I just shut down. BUT, in saying that, I have had a reasonably happy life, despite AS, so that's better than 70% of most people I think.
ILS, I do believe this was my initial answer. And that's OK. It's just how I feel sometimes. Driven by frustration. As per my last sentence, I do believe that I have had a reasonably happy life, thanks in some part to AS, so I feel better off than 70% of people. If my inability to communicate has fucked up some of my more meaningful relationships, I guess it's ok, because at the end of the day, I can live with being by myself and my intelligence has afforded me a life not many get a chance to experience.
I answered SG's question, as in, yes, there are times I get frustrated and I wish I didn't have it. Much like guys wish sometimes they weren't testosterone driven, but that doesn't mean they'd chop off their cock for a minute.
