I guess it can be a little bit, how would you like to be called 'typical'... aspietypical? I know its not the same thing or grammatically correct, but you get the jist. I think 'normal' is better, for all intents and purposes.
How would I like to be called "typical"?
Well, how would NT - sorry, normal - people would like someone speaking for them, an organisation saying they should have been aborted, and implies my parents would be better off without me - and then see them raising millions of dollars, because they supposedly care for me?
Am I the only one who finds all this "aspies are offensive to me" stuff a bit outrageous?
Yes, some aspies have wrong superstitions - perhaps it's because of the treatment they got from non-auties all over the years?
When we are pushed to the corner, we can sound or act in an offensive way. We
are human beings, after all...
I don't judge people by their neurological traits - but yes, I do believe some traits I don't like, such as ignorance and herd mentality, are more common if you're a "non-autie". Not because it's their fault - because society brainwashed them, and being autistic gives you some kind of "self-defence" against brainwashing, which you don't always get otherwise.
People have the right to feel offended - but God, non-auties mad at aspies for being too offensive? And yet, we are the ones thought to lack empathy and social understanding...
DISCLAIMER: I don't want to use pejorative terms against any person in the world. If someone is offended, I want him to explain it to me, so I can learn from it. So please don't get me wrong on this one...
