Is it just me or do NT teenagers talk like programmed robots

there is a chance that many, like myself, are rather colorless and emotionless and soulless but at least we do not waste precious time parotting every action of those considered cool, whatever the hell that means. it is true that a lot of aspies do not take risks and appear to be apathetic and mediocre, but when engaged, they are a lot more creative. i am actually not an aspie, but i am on the spectrum, so i guess that is sort of the same thing.

I don't think I have had the same experience with NT teenagers. Maybe in public or with a group of friends-- but I chalk that up to them trying to fit in and figure out who they really are and what they want. To have an individual conversation and interaction with NT teenagers is very different. They generally all have their own thoughts and wants-- and are growing up and figuring out how to express that.

I volunteer at the local high school and I find the conversation and opinions to be very different and outstanding.

Many high schools actually want uniforms because of the vast amount of different ways that teenagers dress..

It's sickening. Especially with certain phrases that people say, for a while it's not been invented yet or you just don't hear it. Then when a couple people you know says it to everyone says it frequently, it's ridiculous.

"I know, right?" I never heard that phrase until the past year, and it's everywhere and extremely annoying. Commericials, and people use it while typing on forums and comments (I've seen it here once). I don't say it, I can't decide if it's either because I refuse to conform by using it or I don't feel the need and automatically say something else that has the same meaning ("I agree").

Reminds me of the Dutch "Weet ik veel" literally translated meaning "Do I know much" which does not mean anything at all.
Kind of a horrendously obvious request for verification.

Maybe so, but the fear tends to be caused by NT's primitive tribal instinct to shun and ridicule those who they perceive as different.

Or No ja wiem, nie? what means I know it, don't I?

Dude, it's like, whatever, you know?

(I'm too old for this.)

Anyway, just chillin'.

Some of them perhaps. I cannot make that assertion, as I've been specifically told I talk like Data from Star Trek.

I have used that phrase. I am conscious of its uselessness, but I seem to have picked it up unconsciously as I became more socialized. Usually if I use it, however, I am making fun of someone using it. It is the same with 'like' in its improper adverb form.

You mean they are different people? Seriously? I guess I'll stop my search for the cloning machine I thought was manufacturing them all from one person, then...
