List one NT thing you do not understand.

Many many many things:

They don't seem to care about other issues, only when those things affect them. I was recently told 'I don't care if you have autism'. I find it very sad that a person is like that. I've always been open minded about people with other medical conditions, even a bit curious. I always stick up for people with dyslexia, dyspraxia and similar conditions.
I also can't understand how they think I'm looking for sympathy when I'm using the word autism to merely illustrate my point. And now I feel I can't bring it up because it makes them shy away from or they think I want sympathy.
It really bothers me how they can turn everything into a joke. I just want to explain something and people start laughing at and trolling your posts.

Well when I tell people I don't care what they have, it just means I don't think any different of them for it or judge them so I take it as that if someone said it to me but I guess it depends on how it's used in what situation. If I was afraid of telling people I have it because I thought they would judge me and make assumptions and all that, then someone finds out anyway I have it and says to me they don't care if I do. That is fine. My husband doesn't care that I have it in that context.

But if I had a misunderstanding with someone, I say something and it hurts that person and it was my unintention and then that person says to me "I don't care if you have AS or whatever." Then that be hurtful because that would mean that person isn't understanding of me and isn't cutting me some slack. They expect me to know the same things as everyone else. I had that once from a mod because my experiance with 9/11 upset her. Or I should say him because he is actually a guy but likes to be a girl.

when i'm walking down the street someone will apologize to me as if they're in my way when they're 2-3 feet away from me.

also i don't know why NTs are so hung up on greetings. people who don't even like me at work will get huffy if i don't stop and greet them. i mean i saw you, you saw me, isn't that enough.

My husband wanted me to call my parents to wish them a Happy Halloween. Why?

I'm an NT, and I don't, either. It makes me sick.[/quote]

Susie, thanks for your compassion and understanding that Bullyism is malignancy none need to see as somhow interesting, as it's not whatsoever in that I've been bullied in a variety of ways over the many years..I'd like to go further into depth about this but, I shall do that at a later date possibly by private message..

'Do you want to come in for a coffee?"

It took me nearly 40 years to realise that some NTs who asked this question may have wanted to have sex with me.

Rap! Where I went to middle school, everyone hated rap. Now, the whole lot of the kids I knew back then have gotten into rap because it's popular here at this High School.

My current favourite band is Gorgoroth, a Swedish black metal band. I don't know anyone who I know has even heard of them. I don't care. They rock and that's all that matters.

I have not read this whole thread. But for me I can't understand the need for NT's to have big get togethers and parties. All you do is walk around the party, put on a fake smile and do small talk with people that are faking wanting to be there as well. Total waste of time.

pensieve, I'm not sure how to accurately reply to this though here is my best attempt, I think if others make you feel that you should try to extricate yourself from your autistic qualities, it is like saying giving up a great amount of whom you are therefore, I admire your honesty..
