Do you find autistic people more annoying than others?

Post Reply New Topic

I find ordinary people annoying most of the time because of their emphasis on emotion rather than reason. Sometimes I just can't bring myself to talk to them, not because I'm afraid or unable to, but because I find them boring and unutterably small-minded. I'm wondering is this just a question of intelligence because I see myself as clever and a lot of others aren't and are intimidated by this cleverness. Most of my issues with others stem from their emotionality and their lack of intelligence. I'm aware that "most" and "intelligence" are relative terms but I do think the differences here are more pronounced than simply autistic ones.



PS I find autistic people less annoying than so-called normal people.

I don't find ordinary people annoying, I just find their behaviors anonying. I hope you understand the difference.

I think each group has representatives that can get really annoying, it is a human trait...

Well, your subject line is asking if we find people with Asperger's syndrome or some other autism spectrum disorder more annoying than the general population, and often I'd say yes. Offline my experience with people with AS has been generally worse than my experience with NTs. The reason for this is that the aspies, at least in this meet-up group, have proven supremely unreliable. We've had problems even planning to see a movie.

I find all humans equally annoying.

I tend to find ordinary people to be interesting individuals, because some of them have great talents, and a lot of them have good sides and bad sides- in other words, they are not very much different from us. As for other Autistic people, I do tend to think they can be annoying.

I don't get better along with other aspies than I do with NTs (which is the case with many aspies--I'm not the only one).

Sometimes I find myself to be annoying, but I don't know how else to behave!

And sometimes I like to frighten and annoy other people!

Well most of the autistics I know are from camp and are for the most part MFA-LFA with a couple of HFA sprinkled in. I dont find they annoing at all, i love working with them and they facinate me. Other counselors though sometime don't have the patience and find them annoying. I think it has a lot to do with ones comfort level with people acting in out of place ways.

I know a few autistic people I went to school with, and they are actually some of the most annoying and emotional people I know. For a while I figured I could probably relate to them more than NTs, but it's actually been quite the opposite. I do have a coworker who I suspect may be an aspie, he's a low key kind of person and we get along extremely well. I think it all depends on someone's personality, whether they are autistic or NT.

I can relate better to Aspies in some situations and better to NTs in others. I have friends who are both.
I'm usually not annoyed by people unless they're presumptuous or ask me too many questions.
I get along better with people if I experience emotions with them. I know it's hard for all you non-feelers out there to understand, but emotions are wonderful and rewarding, and I really, really pity those of you who are incapable of appreciating them.

An annoying thing that so far as I can tell aspies and auties don't do... Box people in. As in, place people in a category, and then, gee, by golly, that's what they are. It's not that they (we?) don't use categories. But as descriptions, not constraints.
