| Really, now. Such thigs can help but is it a good idea to give people a crutch? I'm saying in rare instances this might work, but for every Autistic or Asperger? Nah. It'll make too many people dependent on something. |

| I added a section to my personal narrative on the subject of "Empathy and Compensations": http://narrative.neurelitism.com In it, I refer to my own experiences, as a sociologist, practicing methodological empathy ( Verstehen ) or cultural relativism. I explain how Verstehen helped compensate for my... |

| There does seem to be a higher prevalence among those descended from English and Northern European stock. We seem to be concentrated in England, Austrailia, and across North America. If I'm not mistaken, Austrailia is where the British sent a lot of their "criminals" (social deviants). Actually, to... |

| I think some people are missing the point. I'm not saying that one or the other is superior or inferior to the next. I'm saying that their frame of mind is archaic. Primitive, an evolutionary throwback - like the appendix. I pity them because; if all evidence is to be believed, classic "humans" are ... |

The reason neurotypicals don't like to say hate is because most neurotypicals now went to school during the "P.C" age, and were trained to be scared of their own emotion... |

| This is an odd question, I know, but who actually pities neurotypicals? By my view, they are less capable than many Aspergers at things that matter. Certainly, better at socialisation - less clumsy, better short-term memory. As for technical abilities, they have something of a more generalised area ... |

| I can tell you from experience "treatment" is a myth. There is no magic cure. Aspergers is not a disease with a fix. It is who, it is what you are. Though there are countless concepts of treatments, virtually limitless examples - none, and I mean this, none are real. Neurotypicals think they are rea... |

| Gods; I hate being touched so much! It's hard to explain to most people, though. We're in a very "touch-centric" culture. One of the guys at work slaps me on the shoulder, in a friendly way when he says hello, of course. It's really uncomfortable, but people don't seem to be able to understand why. ... |

I wonder; if I were to move to another country - what nation would those people then think I'm from?
Oh, and Felinity - if you're thinking about moving to Australia; degrees in medicine or technology would be what you'd need most, of course it all depends on what city in what state. |
