I picked NTs because I am autistic and do not understand them. If I was an NT, though, I'd probably pick autistic people since I'd identify more with NT people in that case.

I chose the option, "It's about the same". In general,it comes down to an individual basis.

I voted NTs. I think that I am very uncomplicated compared to NTs. My mother tells me that I am very uncomplicated as well, from her NT perspective. Others have also told me that I am very uncomplicated and appear to be unaware of "politics". I appear to be unaware, because I am actually unaware.

Depends on what you mean by complicated... If you mean in the literal term then NTs are because most things aspies do are logical. But if you meant in interpreting things/others feelings it would be about the same...

I seem to be the only person who chose B. Here is my reasoning:

1. Autists tend to have larger frontal lobes or something like that, and also more neurons with more connections. Shouldn't that imply more mental complexity?

2. There is always more to an autistic person than meets the eye, you can't say the same about NTs.

3. There is nothing simple about Autism.

Emm.. Autism works at the very basic part of the neuron structure causing a cluster in specialized areas of the brain... As for me it is the visual, therefore the back of my head seems larger than normal.. While I have a small frontal lobe .. there fore terrible social functioning and decision making or logic

On that note I see em all as different... NT's, ASD's... When it comes down to it NT's have a more even brain structure and ASD's have a more clustered brain structure.

On what I've see, people with HFA tend to build up LOTS of complexes if they don't accept their condition or want so badly to fit in to society. Things to compensate or as for me I put my self in a victim role a lot because I've known depression for such a long time... The complex gives someone a justification..
NT there is less of a reason for justification... That is why NT's are so intrigued by ASD's
