The repeaters talked about here sound to me like they have some issues with memory or their intelligence, like a lot of old people. My grandmother is like that.
But I mostly spend my time with Aspie people anyways, they usually have a lot of interesting things to share or talk about, important questions and topics and no small talk. Like yesterday I went to one of the local Aspie meetups and I think everyone agreed it had been an interesting evening afterwards because people stayed a lot longer than the opening hours, some of us even went out afterwards to eat and continue our discussions.
Usually NTs bore me or I get confused or just drained of energy. I have no interest in gossip or talking about the weather or anything like that. But I do understand the function of small talk as a way of getting to the more important topics. I don't like it though, usually I just want to keep quiet until I have something useful, important or funny to say.
