I don't think I was born as an aspie, but I developed a large number of these traits in my late teenage/early 20s by consciously adopting a black-and-white approach towards truth and reality, and a consequent value system. My profession rewarded some of these traits at first. Later in my mid twenties, I switched into performing arts and over a period of 7 years, I have been able to reverse many of these patterns of behavior because they were coming in my way (and now my old friends barely recognize me duh). Is there any research on attempts to change these traits in someone who is diagnosed to be on the spectrum? I don't mean to suggest these traits are inherently good or bad. For me, personality change was like pulling teeth, day after day. But I did it purely to learn a new field, not because I was previously "wrong". I'm curious about any attempt at changing personality, in any direction, because it's so deeply educational.
