We have to help them overcome their obsession with noisemaking machines like leaf blowers, their annoying stims like clicking pens, and set up special ed. classes as so many are failing in physics, maths and subjects requiring theoretical thought. They over-socialise to compensate their deficits, it has to be seen in perspective.

They are suffering from a self-organized collection of mind viruses that, through the subconscious, can pull the levers controlling the chemical reward feedback systems in the brain, and thus control the behavior of the NTs.
They are locked into a perpetual peptide addiction being controlled by a memetic code.

Given our capacities for scientific breakthroughs, perhaps we can offer them brain transplants in the future to help them function normally, like us. :)

B19, you're freaking awesome. Where would WP be without you?

I loved every damn piece of this. It goes to show you what putting things in a negative light can also do.

Now I know why my jet lag is so bad. Only though I'd gone back in time 13 hours rather than the best part of three months :)

Wow someone really hates and likes to blanket generalize all neurotypicals. Also half of your list are things any person can do regardless of neurological condition....what makes you think no one with autism does any of the things you list or thinks in some of the ways you mentioned? Seems like you just listed all the potentially negative traits of humans and decided to call it 'neurotypical' syndrome.

wait their 'obsession' with noisemaking machines like leaf blowers? Pretty sure they more use those to blow leaves out of their yard/walk way then because they are obsessed with the device...most probably see using one as a hassle that has to be done at least the ones that bother using one.

And last I checked autistic people can stim by clicking pens, probably more likely than a neurotypical even since stimming is actually a trait of autism. I've clicked pens plenty of times in a stimming fashion, or I might chew on it though I try very, very hard not to do that if its not my pen and am borrowing it.

Setting up special ed classes is not a stim

Do you have any evidence to suggest neurotypicals on a large scale are the ones struggling most in physics and math, and this assumption neurotypicals have no capacity for thought is quite a stretch I think. That said I struggled a lot in math and was ok with physics type stuff unless it at all involved math...so well not very good at that either.

And some people regardless of neurotypical or not over-socialize to compensate for defects...its not really a thing that is specific to one neurology.

Except we don't function normally.....autism would not be a diagnosed disorder if we functioned normally, whole point is it causes difficulties we would otherwise not have. And people with autism do not by default have some higher capacity for scientific breakthroughs.

I've met many NTs who aren't like this and I've known of a few people on WP who are like this over the years. NTs and spectumites can be nice or nasty. I'd like to believe that there are more good people in the world than there are bad apples. Only a small number of people are like this, whether they're NT or on the spectrum. That doesn't seem like typical behaviour to me. It seems more like bullying behaviour. I like to believe that the decent people outweigh the bad apples on a scale of 100-1, no matter what their neurology is.

The whole thing is a parody..... it's also meant to play on the fallacy that only people on the spectrum actually have problems.

Truth is, everyone has issues. For many auties a lot of "NT behavior" causes problems for them.

"Function normally" is quite subjective, and norms have changed. For example, mass factory-based schooling has only been a norm since the late 19th century. It was a lot different in other times, and let's not forget different societies as well where potentially an aspie may very well pass of as NT due to customs.

Nonetheless I've met PLENTY of NTs who probably need A LOT of help in a lot of areas whereas aspies would completely dominate them.... sadly I can't find any serious statistics of autistic students being better than NTs (or vice versa).

Hmmmmm: yes I must stop being so unfair to the nitties (NTs) - perhaps Sweetleaf has a point, I mean it's not as if the nitties have ever made gross, inaccurate generalisations about us, and they quickly jump on other nitties who do this, to defend us...
