Anyway, jokes aside, who says NT's are uneducated morons? I know some really clever NTs, alot of them. You need different types of people and different brain structures for the world to work, you need certain types for the social stuff and others for the technical stuff etc

It's a topic that, for me, is genuinely close to Nazism, selection of a superior race.

I do know many clever NTs, but a disproportionate majority of uneducated morons are NT. Besides which, the "clever" NTs would be far less likely to change that side of them; the numpties would probably realise that they're muppets (and that's the polite way of putting it) and stop acting so weirdly.

Let me state that I wouldn't object to a person who wanted to be "cured", merely to the creation or indeed suggestion of the "cure" in the first place.

Why is it Asperger's that needs the cure? Personally, I think we should cure NT people.

You see, this kind of comment is something I can never agree with. It's saying there shouldn't be a cure but then saying the exact same thing the so called "curebies" say, only it's the other way round.
Also, if everyone was no longer an NT it just wouldn't work and society as we know it would collapse, I remember seeing a thread about a similar subject and I read a post that said "you can't make a carrot cake with just carrots", and it is very true.
You have to admit that if we could cure NT society of prejudice, our problems would be solved. But you wouldn't have to change NTs themselves to do it.

Yes prejudice should be taken out of everyone. I do think that.
