Is anyone else sick of the anti-NT bias?

I loathe how we are expected to avoid using terms with the least bit of exclusivity in order to prevent potential offense. Political correctness leads to a generic language devoid of intensity and specificity, thus verbal communication would result in less mutual understanding.

I say "people." That way I am not using a category and lumping anyone into one. I also say "Some people." I also use "Bullies." People is everyone because they are humans and bullies, anyone can be one. It's not part of anything; NT, autism, learning disabilities, schizophrenia, etc. People with those conditions can be one.

Isnt it like going to a demacratic convention and getting upset at their anti republican values, then retuen to your reblican convention and start harping on democrats?

It's not NT behavior how people act such as when they bully, be jerks, get drunk, etc. it's human behavior.

It's the false assumption people make about NTs people have a problem with here. Like the time I saw a thread about NTs taking things out of context we say. That isn't NT behavior because I have seen aspies doing it too. I see it on here too. A member did it to me a few days ago so I told her she does a horrible job reading between the lines and I advise her to stop trying.


It would be like an aspie committing a crime and people assume all aspies commit crimes. So for them to say aspies are criminals and why do they commit crimes would be lumping us into one category. It pisses us off so why are we doing it to NTs? Some of us are lumping them into one category.

I think it would be a terribly foolish position to actually hate NT's. We need them just as much as they need us. NT is not a term that can be exchanged with "bully" or "ingnorant" or "insensitive". And if you identify all NT's with these terms then you wrong, if you identify these terms with only NT's then you are wrong.

But, they are a majority. Making fun of the majority is a long tradition and it has served us well. A little bit of parody, a little bit of satyrical comedy and playful jibes go along way to keep people grounded.

Black comedians make fun of "white folks" all the time. All my gay friends have the occassional pithy observation about straight people or "breeders." And as a straight, white (mostly) guy, I don't take any offence. I think we need that sort of humour and we need to see the value in some of the differences we have. But if you take these opinions too seriously or see this as being some indicator of innate superiority, then you need to have your head checked.

I don't think the NT's will crumple into emotional heaps because we make fun of the stupidity of small talk or whatever.

After reading about SPD, it sounds a lot like AS. I wonder if I could have it?

NTs are people
AS are people

We may not see things eye to eye, but they're here, so we have to deal with them.

no we dont
