We are not superior to NT'S!

If we were superior it wpuld not be called a syndrome. Simple as.

If we were superior we wouldnt have all these support services, charity groups, and oh yeah A HUGE ONLINE SUPPORT FORUM.

What else oh yeah there wouldn't be the high number of unemployment rates, suicides, lack of relationships, co-morbids like depression.

I get fed up especially of the people here who feel the need to put others down by how NT they are as if its an insult and how intelligent they are.

Aspie or NT doesn't really matter. People in general suck. They are self-centered and judgmental and it really doesn't matter how their brain works. Not saying everyone is, but people in general. Like I've always said a person can be kind. A person can be intelligent. People, however, cannot.

I'll never tolerate anyone that considers a 'type' of person to be superior to another. Id say that in approximately 150% of cases, the idea behind it stems from misconceptions and any associated fear and thus prejudice that results.

Many Aspies seem to pride themselves on their intelligence (self-opinionated). I often notice that as a result they develop misconceptions that any NT must be 'less smarter' than they are. Intelligence is over-rated anyway.. it doesn't get you too far in life, and when you die there are no 'save games' to load from so it goes with you. Sure it may allow for the progression of humanity as a whole, but what does it honestly do for you.

When I was a child, I thought I was superior. As I felt that I was I was independent and objective and not swayed by the masses. This naïve perspective didn’t last long. As I realized that it was a true disadvantage to be this way in today’s society.

My best freinds an NT.So caleban, SHUT UP!!

Neither superior nor inferior. We are equals. We should learn to cooperate and to take advantage of each others' strengths. A community where diverse people can work together is a stronger, better place.

It's okay to celebrate your skills and accomplishments, and it's okay to admit and understand your weaknesses and your disability. It's just that those things don't make you any better or worse than anyone else. People are equal in value. What really makes the difference isn't what you have; it's what you do with it. Maybe you want to create art, or raise a child, be a friend, discover a new idea. Do those things. Don't hold yourself back by thinking you're inferior, and don't ignore the contributions of others by categorizing them as inferior.

of course we are not superior, as they are also not superior to us, that kind of attitude where people think they are superior causes issues, like Nazi kind of mentality.

In my experience most NTs have always been more intelligent than me. What I was bad at I fell way underaverage, and what I was good at I was never better than everyone else at it, I was just average. So I don't consider myself a genius or an intelligent person.

I'm not ashamed of not being as clever as an Aspie is ''supposed'' to be. I'm only ashamed of lacking in some social skills. Saying I'm intelligent does not compliment me.
