Neurotypicals, what do you think of them?

And what makes you think that a significant proportion of people have done so?

You have made it abundantly clear that, in your opinion, all self-diagnosed aspies are scum. That no one reaches that determination out of a sincere belief that they actually have an ASD. That even those who are in the process of formalizing that diagnosis are deluded to think they have "it." Do you have anything to back up your insulting positions?

Are there people who behave as you insinuate all self diagnosed aspies do? Certainly. Is that a bad thing? Unquestionably. Are those people a majority of the self-diagnosed? I see absolutely no reason to think so. You obviously do. Please share your reasons with us, instead of just demanding that people justify themselves to you.

The same way that I thought of them three years ago, when I first posted in this thread. They're just ordinary people like us.

Exactly. There are good guys and bad guys with autism too.

You couldn't be more right.
Ever since I was diagnosed at 8 years old, I was always told that Asperger's is just a disability, involving experiencing a few difficulties, and some social delays. That doesn't make me any less human than anyone else on this planet. That doesn't make me any worse than any one else on this planet. Doesn't make me better than anyone else either, but it doesn't make me worse. Like all NTs, I have thoughts and feelings and emotions, and I am an individual like everyone else, and maybe NTs should give me a chance a bit more, but that applies to me aswell: I should give them a chance too. I don't expect other people to change completely to get along with me, the same as I don't expect myself to change completely to get along with them.

In the adult world, I've noticed more that everybody is different, and whether you're NT or NL, you are still an individual who has as many human rights as the next person. Just because NTs can have a better idea of socialising, doesn't mean they are perfect, and doesn't mean that their socialising is some sort of talent what never goes wrong and stays perfect.

Some of my best friends are NT's. Some of my worst enemies too.

But the same could be said of Aspies.

There's no getting away from it one way or the other.
