Tbh a lot of aspiess are annoying when they say the followin

Post Reply New Topic

A. Aspies>NTs (extreme arrogance)

B. if a person is a genius he//he has to have aspergers (while its very likely, to say NTs can't be geniuses is idiotic)

C. Aspergers is a disease and a major disability (go to a hospital and then talk to me about disability)

D. NTs are over social monkeys who are imbecile in nature (in most countries where socialisation is valued, and quietness looked down upon, yes, in countries where quietness, reflection and solitude aren't frowned up one, such as most Asian countries no. Sadly it's true. A jock is another word for overly social monkey who is imbecile, and there seems to be a lot of countries favoring jocks)

E. aspergers is the next step in human evolution (aspergers=nt ; what we lack in social skills compensates for our unique gifts)

I've heard this a lot from aspies on this forum and this gives us a very bad depiction. NTs are aware of all these statements, and a guy even put that as number one stupidest cause people fight for. I was very offended by his article, top 5 stupidest cause, number one being aspie pride, however what he mentioned does correspond with a lot of stuff seen on these forums (although his idea of aspies faking it is piss poor logic IMO and asinine sounding), such as aspies believing that aspergers is a superior race, aspergers is the next step in human evolution, NTs are inferior, etc. lets be honest here, most of us have either heard that or said that on this forum. People are even making stupid threads like I hate nt because so and so nt abused me. This superiority complex and neurologism (the brain version of nationalism) is embarrassing especially when NTs hear it, then they start to get the message that all aspies are like that nd it's just plain wrong.

Aspie=NT

Being aspie doesn't make a person better or worse than an NT, superiority comes from character and integrity not from how your brain is wired.

I'm not going to be nitpicky like the others. I get what you're overall message is. There's some victimization and ego-tripping going on by some members. Not only is it annoying, but it's really unhealthy and not an attitude that I think should be cultivated in our community. I think this is what the other thread was talking about when it was describing this forums negativity.

I agree with a lot of it, but I disagree with AS not being a disability....since it is, though it's not all bad nessisarily it is disabling for many people who have it. Not all disabilities require hospitalization, and even the ones that do don't necessarily require it at all times.

I have never been hospitalized. I was nearly one time.

not only am i an aspie i am also a psychic who dont care 'bout grammar and punctuation and speling

Hello.

I agree with what Sweetleaf said above.

While I agree with the OP on many points, AS can be very disabling. Because of my complete lack of social skills, my quality of life has been very poor. I've been an outcast all my life wherever I am, both in my original country and in the country where I currently reside. Two completely different cultures. It pretty much confirms that I am a universal outcast regardless of the envirnment I'm in. In addition, not looking disabled makes things even more difficult. So I don't want people to underestimate the difficulty of AS, though individual experiences can be very different.

Regarding the other points about some with AS being arrogant etc, I agree with the OP. I think some people tend to exaggerate the traits of "Aspies" and "NT's". I tend to avoid using those words probably because it seems to me that those words somehow reflect that attitude and I feel a bit embarrassed about it. It's just my personal view.
