Anyone thinks that NT's have less problems than us?

I think people without autism disorders have a better happier life.

no single person has a problemless life, even the might tsar had issues in helping to appeal to his people

I would be so embarrassed to be around mom's family. There are 40 relatives on mom's side and that includes aunts, uncles and cousins. None of them have autism disorders or learning disabilities. They have no issues with social skills at all. They have tons of friends and have great careers and basically live a normal life. Dad's family is much smaller but again no one has autism disorders or learning disability. I know this is off topic, but I look at Sarah Palin's youngest son. He has down syndrome. Some day when he's older he may wonder why he looks different than his siblings. He may wonder why people make fun of him. It's so sad.

I don't think NTs have more or less problems, they just have different problems or different perceptions. Everyone has a different tolerance for stress. So what's a minor issue for one person, may be a catastrophe for another....and vice versa.

Definitely. I envy all the neurotypical people around me.

Same here. They don't struggle with communication at all. They have tons of friends and great success in everything.

Agree 100%


It's always easier to be happy when you feel you belong where you are and most everyone around you accepts you as is.

Easier to be happy when you function smoothly at your job and aren't being constantly reprimanded or scowled at for doing things the way you do.

Easier to be happy when you aren't unemployed half your adult life merely for getting on someone's nerves in ways you weren't even aware of, while watching relatives and associates zoom up the ladder to yuppiedom, big families, beautiful homes and backyard swimming pools.

Easier to be happy when you don't have to worry about finding a balance between spending time with those you like and love (provided anybody actually wants to spend time around you), and finding enough solitude to maintain your sanity.

Easier to be happy when every word that leaves your lips doesn't soar over the heads of everyone around you and leave them looking dazed and excruciatingly bored.

Hell, it's easier to be happy when you can coast through life on faith that some imaginary deity has your back and will always come through to fix any problem, rather than being intelligent enough to see clearly that that belief system is based on misinformation and outright fantasy. Easy if you're dumb enough to buy into that - just drink the Kool Aid and smile, smile, smile...but its not that simple. One can't un-know once one knows. And that knowledge won't allow the luxury of just 'believing'.

Much easier to be happy when you've never felt so alienated and outcast that eating a bullet actually seemed like a positive alternative to the disease of life.
