Do you hate neurotypicals?

Post Reply New Topic

No way. Hatred is something I'd like to see less of in the world, so I refuse to harbor it. Besides, I know a great many very kind and loving NTs.

I find thread title like THIS quite tiresome but I don't hate the authors

No. At times, I'm leaning towards slightly despising them though.

I hate myself more than anyone on earth.

If you define neurotypical as someone without an ASD then that's basically saying 99% of the people on Earth can be lumped into one category. Thankfully, people are more diverse than that. I know a lot of neurotypicals (they don't have autism) who are kind, creative and thoughtful. They have unique perspectives and are anything but sheep. I think the definition of neurotypical as a broadly defined term for someone who doesn't have autism is essentially useless.

I dislike people on a case-by-case basis, not on their brain wiring.

Yes, yes I hate them all without reservation.

This includes people I love - their NT traits make me sorry for them and I cannot ever fully trust them because of those NT traits. But I make do.

I really do think NT's are 'less evolved', and for all their struggles and occasional briliance, they nonetheless present a difficult and philosophical choice: Is it possible to ever truly, fully trust an animal, or a stupid person? No, I don't think it is.

So while its not necessarily necessary to like, dislike, hate, or even 'love' them, its very necessary to keep one eye on them, and be prepared to squash when necessary.

Yes, I hate NT's, and I wish there were less of them in the world and more A's.

No.

I am not capable of hating anyone.

No? Some of the people I love most in this world are NTs. I went through my hatred phase awhile ago and it wasn't something that I particularly enjoyed.

I don't hate them, I just don't think I could date one.

(Before answering, I would like to make clear my definitions. I do not define "Neurotypical" as "Non-Autistic" in the way it has been defined in the past. My definition springs from the recent definition of "those without a neurological disorder", but instead drop "disorder" and define it as "a person neurologically typical, with a brain wiring within the definition of "average" or typical". I do not use it as a "black-and-white" term but consider Neurotypical to be on the "opposite" pole as autistic. I will use the contemporary term "Allistic" (ah-list-ick) to refer to non-autistics generally)

I warn you I will speak free and honest here, refraining from political correctness and other social codes of conduct, so that everybody will receive an accurate representation of my worldview (so to contribute to discussion)

I do not hate Neurotypicals as a group. In the past I have had extreme views, ranging from extreme segregation (pure Aspergianism) to neurelitism (Airistic supremacy, neurological caste system etc). This, in my opinion stems from a natural distrust of others and preference for people of a similar neurology, fuelled by living in a society where the majority are of a different Neurotype.
I do think, as a rule that people feel more natural with others of a similar Neurotype, and that neurology is an important factor in culture (worldview, preference etc) and personality.
I think hatred is an excess of this, usually triggered by environmental factors (having NT worldview being enforced, etc)
Regardless of the discomfort I feel with most of those I consider "Neurotypical" and the tendency for us to misunderstand eachother and require space, I do not hate neurotypicals as a group, neither do I think it is a healthy worldview.

Do I hate all white people?

No. It never even occurred to me to start to harbour such negative feelings toward an entire demographic, even if they make up the majority of society where I look out the window, and I'm something of a minority.

Yes, much in society might be built from a certain perspective, in the past many of my demographic have been discriminated against, reduced to secondary roles in society, abused physically and psychologically, and there's been something of a struggle for rights to become a fair bit more equalized, much of it has only been achieved in the previous century.
But I figure that much of the support in achieving that has also come from people who belong to the majority demographic, sympathizers, friends, generally righteous people.
Furthermore, if I answered hatred directed toward my demographic with more hatred directed toward the another entire demographic, then that would make me as blind and spiteful and ignorant as the ones directing their bigotry at me and mine.

So no, I do not hate all heterosexuals, even though I run into prejudice and ignorance every once in a while, and practically live in a world where I am not the norm but the exception, and I experience the implications of this pretty much every day in some subtle way or form.

It could be said that I may well have an excuse or a motivation to hate all white heterosexuals. But I have no use for excuses. I only operate on valid reasons.
