Are there any NT's on here that...

...signed up to this website because they prefer being around aspies more than being around other NT's?

I can't imagine that there are that many of them but they must surely exist!

Some non-AS people even have a 'thing' for our characteristics. Imagine that!

I have a NT-friend that is married to an aspie and has 2 aspie kids and she's completely like this, except that she doesn't post here.

There are some. I think they're worthy of study.

I don't actually know. There are friends throughout my life who I suspect might be, but this is something I would not say to them and I might be wrong because they don't seem impaired. (I realize this can be an illusion and there can be things I don't see.) I like being with these people very much but I also enjoy the company of extremely social people who are undoubtedly NT. It is as though I have two categories of friends and they don't mesh well together. I've tried to get them together in the past by inviting people from both sets to all do something together with me but these attempts often didn't go well. But I don't have a preference for one category of friends over the other and I may be entirely wrong in my amateur diagnosis of some of them.

I do definately prefer the written company on WP. Even when people get very angry with each other and the moderators have to step in and lock a thread, the posts never degenerate to incomprehensible text-speak insults. There are also a broader array of subjects discussed. Other forums tend to focus on a particular subject that the forum was set up for (politics, music etc.) and straying from those subjects is discouraged. Here I get it all.

I know an NT who isn't on here, but who tends to prefer being around aspies. She's solidly NT, but she also has learned how to communicate the aspie manner, so she's talked about wanting to work in a company that is primarily aspies (because they'd be more efficient at doing most of the work), where she works as an aspie-NT translator because of being able to communicate effectively with both sides.

She's married to an aspie and tends to spend a lot of time interacting with aspies as a whole.
