Who pities neurotypicals?

Post Reply New Topic

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

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.

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?

I agree with you. And another reason they're having more and more trouble adapting is that--for the most part--their level of comprehension gets stunted, and they can't think outside the box to the degree needed to keep their survival in the long run.

I believe most Autistic folks are more than capable of understanding these very things, as mostly we tend to favor logic & reason over emotion. Unfortunately, as long as many of us insist on feeling sorry for ourselves because we're not accepted by NTs, that true potential never shows.

I've tried to explain the things I understand to people...it really is beyond their comprehension.

A lot of times they even say "let's please stop discussing this"; it's because it's too much for their brains to handle. Well, not only that, but they find it scary because they can only understand it so much to a point. Beyond that point, they fear what they don't understand and the whole discussion just freaks them out.

Many things that NTs get worked up about every day( lots of it you hear on the news) I've discussed with my friend on the phone and told him "don't worry, you'll be fine; we all will".

but these are things most NTs just can't comprehend; but we can, should we chose to take advantage of what we have at our disposal.
