Not trying to provoke or antagonize by any means, but I think it's more of an idea or thought reflection on why it happens than a theory.
I go on NT parenting forums from time to time too, and a lot of them will message me and say that they have learned a LOT from me, etc., when all I'm really doing is rambling about my own experience to maybe give them ideas on how to approach situations. Some have told me I should speak... why?
They tend to cling to anything, though (not meaning to be dismissive to the OP's claims or anything), because they want so bad to understand. Anything they can get out of one of us, they will take that as if it's gold, and stockpile bits and pieces from everyone, lol. They will rant and rave about how wonderful someone is if they open up with ideas and such, because they are at a loss themselves. Not a bad thing, just a pattern I've noticed since I've been on several boards... and it doesn't mean that your idea/theory isn't important to them, but it does mean that the next one that comes along will likely be taken and held with the same respect. Before long, unless you mention it again, a lot of them will say "what was that you were talking about?", because they are stock piling so much info, they forget.
It's not just an NT thing-heck, I do that all the time with various things, so I'm not flaming anyone.
But when it comes to people's children, that is when you really notice it... when they are hoping for a cure, or are wanting a fix, or just want to understand really really bad. You could tell them "bunnies are the answer to life", and half of them will read some deep meaning into it and agree.
