Lol, I am quite different but far from being ret*d... I believe that would be many others here on wrongplanet as well.. If being ret*d is considered an IQ of 69 or less, thre are a lot of ret*ds out here that can use a computer and know about the internet (sarcasm a bit as noted above).

Some things are constant, others are different, just because were out of the 'normal' or 'accepted' learning curve does not mean that we do not change... we change not according to other peoples plans or expectations but to our own.

Major understatement!


Aspies have no sense of humor.
Parts of me re like a child still and thta includes doing goofy things which others find very humorous. Does our 'unusual' or 'eccentric' things about ourselves... others find humor in those? My wife has her own set of eccentric behaviors that I find humorous...


Aspies have no imagination.
Interesting concept here... In some things I lack in this trait, in others, there is too much things going on... I am really good at problem solving, the concentration of an Autie withthe hyper focusing of an ADHD, I can imagine all sorts of possible solutions to problems when it is something I have the poential to fix... It is not that there is no imagination, just that it is misunderstood.


Aspies can't understand idioms.
You got me there... There is difficulty in understanding idioms... some I can and others I do not understand. Telling like it is and it meaning two different ways depending how it is intended to be understood is a bit confusing... so is NT behavior traits which is accepted as 'normal' but is more destructive in nature...

Maybe there is an exception to the rule... I do not care for wearing the latest and greatest... It seems unnecessary and vain.. yet this is seen as a positive attribute in the society dominated by NT's? Abnormal behavior to me.


Aspies are all the same.
Interesting, Autism is a spectrum disorder, as it is understood to be in which indivisuals have varying degrees of issues, yet all the same?
If Aspies/Auties are all the same, would that mean that all NT's are either the same or different?
