Wow, how elitist.

Litigious,

That is the kind of thing I have had to kept to myself. I think all the people I thought were normal had at LEAST a 130 IQ There ARE a lot of problems with IQ including that, as the average intelligence drops, the IQ has to go up to show consistant intelligence.

BTW I would like to know the REAL IQ for the last dozen or so presidents.

Steve

Well, then we pretty much agree. Only 2% of the population worldwide have an IQ of 130 and above. My IQ is usually above, but it depends on the kind of test. But I've never been below 126. And yes, intelligence is decreasing in general. We have national tests that anyone can do, and I've done some of them during the years. My own test results have either increased or at least been constant, never went down, whilst the average results have constantly decreased from an index 1.00 the first time I did the test to 0.96 the last time I did it. Ergo: People are getting dumber.

I don't think that most presidents after FDR have been very bright. I doubt that Bush Jr. can have a two figure IQ to be honest. A man like that would never become leader of any European nation. Here they at least must be able to hide their stupidity and show some dignity in behavior and manners. He lacks all of that.

Instead of using logic to put down NTs, I will use special manipulative NT style approach, A nice country song.
Verse 1
In my country there is problem,
And that problem are the Chavs.
They are very very stupid ,
And drink and smoke too much .
Chorus 1
Throw Chavs down the well (repeat line)
So my country can be free (repeat line)
We must make Science easy (repeat line)
Then we'll have a big party (repeat line)
Verse 2
In my country there is problem
And that problem are the NTs
They take your money , and your wife
And they never give them back
Chorus 2
Throw the NTs down the well (repeat line)
So my country can be free (repeat line)
You must grab him by his horns (repeat line)
Then we have a big party (repeat line)
Verse 3
If you see an NT coming
You must be careful of his teeth
You must grab him by his ****
And I tell you what to do
(Repeat Chorus 2 twice)

Aspies should be free to vent about Nt's on this site and not be condemned for doing so.

Damned straight.

I have to disagree with a portion of what people are saying here. I've lived much of my life thinking I myself was an NT (I hadn't heard of the term then, though), which is probably a result of me being treated so well. I was only ever ridiculed for my looks (apparently I look like Mr. Bean), rather than because of the way I act. Even now that I know I have AS, I've got quite a few friends that aren't on the spectrum. Mentally counting, I've got about 20 of them! They aren't mean in any way, and they have accepted me and my oddities.

I'd think that about 65% of the population is the way a stereotypical NT is described here. I think it's because of the stressful life in these modern times; because we/they are so gosh-darm busy and stressed out by work, politics and family issues, they barely have time to consider other people's problems and issues, which includes us. I live in a country where we aren't as stressed out as those in, say, New York or London. It's fairly peaceful here in NZ (fairly, it still can get stressful at times), so we have more pause for thought, which is probably the reason why I've been treated better by others than those elsewhere.

I think that if an Aspie lived in an out-of place area, such as a small town or suburb a while away from 'the big city', I wouldn't be suprised if they were treated at least a little bit better. Bot to say that small towns are ass-hole free. I also acknowledge that people have the need to rant or express their opinion. They have a reason to say 'NT's are cruel and heartless', because that's they way it's always been for them. The 'audience' just needs to be a bit more relaxed in these circumstances.

Did I say that right?

Small towns can actually be a lot worse. They have their little cliques that have existed since before dirt.

Oh, right, forgot about that!

Agreed, small towns seem to have a greater tendency to be entirely one way.
And it certainly won't be your way!!

I know two people with AS from rural/remote towns, and their problems with "fitting in" are quite severe.

Okay, so maybe I was mistaken about the whole 'living in a small town is better' idea. I probably meant to say 'Towns whose lives aren't as busy and stressed out as the big cities are'.
