Who pities neurotypicals?

Post Reply New Topic

So totally pity NTs; used to just call them "normals", often to their face. Have learned not to do this so much, but here it is for a select audience:
-Normals are offended by the idea that different exists -- can't be real, must be a threat, not good at sports.
-Normals get mad because learning is hard, and thinking is hard, but emoting all over the place is easy.
-Now if not confronted, normals very impressed, admiring even, especially if emoted at in predictable normal ways...
-...like noticing new articles of clothing and saying "sure" a lot when they prattle on how they emote about other normals emoting about yet other normals.
-Normals love their problems solved, nastily tend to take credit for socializing with the solution normals couldn't figure out, until weirdo here stuck it in their noggins.

Yes, pity and no small amount of resentment. Suppose it is a flaw in character, now that it is in the light of day. Still...

I do not pity them; I envy them. I am depressed right now, so my answer may reflect my mental state. I just have a great deal of trouble connecting to others. I want to be able to do what comes naturally to NTs.

I can't believe I have to say this again. I'm not saying neurotypicals are inferior. I AM, however, saying they are increasingly less-adapted to a world that they, in part at least, created. They are the Neanderthals of today. Contrary to popular belief, neanderthal man was probably not stupid - so don't think that's what I'm accusing neurotypicals of being. What I meant by technocentric world and them being dependent on such is that yes, whilst we too are dependent, we are better suited at such than they. As technology progresses, fewer of the average person is capable of understanding. Phones aren't scientific devices - they're magical plastic sticks that let you talk to people anywhere. I say that neurotypicals are archaic because they evolved and adapted to throwing pointy sticks at running animals. I believe Arthur C. Clarke mentioned something along those lines in one of his books...
Point being; they are neither superior nor inferior, but they are less capable in the emerging new world. As we are less capable in theirs. But, here's the thing: Their world is disappearing. Ours is emerging. Don't believe me? Alright, why don't you become a geneticist and do the research yourself? I pity them because they can't escape their own social environment. Most NT's are dependent upon an alpha. They are living in a world that is rapidly fading - and they haven't yet caught up to the idea.
Ten thousand years - there may not be any classical humans remaining, no homo sapiens sapiens. Human ego - both NT's and Aspies - often tries to deny it. To view yourself, or a genetic cousin, as being mortal and fallible seems incomprehensible. I pity them because they don't understand the lives they live. I pity them because they view Aspergers as being a disease, I pity them for not only their lack of understanding but their lack of capacity to understand me. I pity them because, as a whole, they are dying. Some wouldn't pity a dying man, but who wouldn't pity dying Man?

they are less capable in the emerging new world. As we are less capable in theirs. But, here's the thing: Their world is disappearing. Ours is emerging.

You raise interesting issues here. How do you envisage the emerging (your) new world? What will it be like? What will it be characterized by that makes NTs less capable, and aspies more capable, in it?

I'm guessing he refers to the technological aspects. A lot of people complain that with everything done by computer now, humans socialize almost less than ever...which is no major issue for us at all!

I pity all of humanity indiscriminately.

:?

people with aspergers are more intelligent, creative etc etc than nt people. without exception.
