Why does everyone take Asperger's as a disease?

[iggymatrixcounter]

Well if you are talking about your parents then all I can say is that if they thought you were incompetent, then why do you blame them for trying to make you competent?

Realize this: What would one's life be like with asperger's? And what would that same person's life be like without it because it was treated?

Yes there are benefits and consequences to each senario, but just because you hated being treated, doesn't change the fact that you wouldn't have DIED or become mentally sick or something hugely different had your ailment been totally treated.

You said that the things that define you were results of asperger's (I think). Ok that's given, but had you been rid of that you would have had other things that defined you because you didn't have the disease.

In conclusion to this whole ordeal, whether or not something like asperger's is treated or not yields no huge ramifications. You have it, you deal with it, adapt to it and move on. You get rid of it, you adapt, you change your way of life, and move on. IMO it's like choosing a career, doing this yields this life and doing that yields that life.

Sorry that you hated your parents for trying to force the medications on you. Can't change that. But can you really tell yourself what you're trying to prove? That they wanted to make you into this "normal person" that would slip into society and have no personality? That they wanted to be apart of this huge conspiracy to "equalize" everyone's intelligence? I don't think you could. They had/have your best interests in mind and will keep suggesting what is best in their opinion, even if you don't agree.
