        Interesting, I had never considered ‘stop being autistic’ as a choice. Thanks for that.

        Unrelated, my girlfriend just got a dog, I like them, but I prefer cats. Should I tell the dog to reconsider its stance?

          You’d still be autistic, just as I am.

          But you can change your response to hearing your name. Don’t stubbornly hold on to awkward behavior after you’ve identified it, you are perfectly capable of excising undesirable traits from your personality. You’re autistic, not retarded.
