I would want to prevent them from looking and judging me whenever they realise I am different.
Prevent them from asking me questions or opinions based on common sense.
End the typical NT conversations relating to weather, driving lessons, selfwealth, and all the subjects that I find are repetive within the NT community.

Make them relealise that my odd appoach to questions are based upon accurate perception and not stupidity, since most of my answers aren't based upon other people's judgment.

Stop them from acting false and expressing their opinions based on other people's opinions.

1. Accept difference, don't judge, don't label.

2. Do not ridicule the weak to make yourself feel better.

3. Have fun don't be so mature.

4. Be more circumspect.

There we go 4 things for non-aspies to take on board.

They can stop expecting me to pick up on silly little hints and just tell me the bloody truth.

It can't be that tough, surely.

I'd make them understand, stop picking on others stupidly, and make them psychic.

They're who they are.

To reiterate: I can't change it so I don't dwell on it (put thought to it).

Make them accept that rules apply to everyone and that ignoring instructions based upon safety, hygiene, and anything else will not be tolerated. (ignoring the law) (ingnoring instrunctions) (ingnoring instructions from employer). When you read a sign that says 'please don't put your feet on the seats' you realise that it is there to prevent the seats from getting damaged or dirty. Yet society ignore this and decide that this rule doesn't apply to them, It annoys me beyond belief!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

Why do NT's act the same? What happened to individuality? It is NOT individreality!! Every NT follows the same procedures in their life based upon some hidden invisible rule that I don't have. These NT rules are ineffecient and doesn't lead to progress in life.
I don't understand progress, I watch people in suites, in fancy cars walking ahead with some motive. They want to look important and succeed in life. Yet why do they want to succeed and have power? Okay they have money, so whats next?

For me life isn't about having a job to earn money, okay this is great but it isn't what I call life. A job is something I need in order to fill my pocket full of numbers in order to live and eat, this is important but I don't feel that this forms the basis of Life.

Life for me isn't about having wealth or a good job, life for me is about following the rules of employment since it is needed to live, however as metioned earlier it deosn't form the basis of my life.
Life for me is about having an active interests in things outside work that has got nothing to do with employement. NT's however only seem to be interested in things that apply to work or money.
I've been criticised by people who tell me why I choose to learn my interests in great detail when I'm aware it doesn't have any relevance in my job!!

Here's a question I've been wanting to know for a long time:
Why do most of you have to hate on NTs a lot?

I don't get the impression that most people here hate NT's. Hate is a big word, and should be reserved for those who cause great pain and damage and have no regard for anything or anyone other than themselves. Nevertheless, some degree of antipathy towards NT's is logical, because it's only because of their presence that having an Aspie mental state can be a problem. The main obstacles we're bumping into (lack of social skills and sensory overload) simply wouldn't be there if there weren't NT's in every inhabitable location. There'd be nothing we'd need social skills for, nor would there be the noise, the flashiness, the crowds and the hectic situations that cause us to feel overloaded.
Other than this, it is my experience that the vast majority of NT's are perfectly pleasant when dealing with them 1-on-1. Differences in mental states between them and me are rarely unovercomeable in such situations; common ground can usually be found, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. It's when they flock together into groups that I lose all and any sense of kinship with them; their IQ's then seem to drop to abysmal levels and they become preoccupied with appearances, competition, making noise and a range of other things that I can't relate to and that hurt my eyes & ears.
