Major differences between AS/ASD and NT teenagers

Post Reply New Topic

Hi I know before everyone questions it, that every individual is different and every teenager is different as well. I was just wondering if anyone notices significant differences in NT and Aspie teenagers.
Also,

NT teenagers seem to be kind of crazy about social interaction, they seem to have a strong need to be with their peers and autistic people don't have as need for social interaction, and if they do, it will OFTEN be with younger/older people. That's just of course, in general.

when I was 14/15 years old, the girls in my class started talking about diets and had all this strange curly hair from a hairdresser and were wearing all the same clothes and this same handbags (I really did/do not understand this concept) and I was absorbed into my SI and I found them even more odd than I did before, they had even more of a "secret code", but there were only a few moments I realized, because I did not notice people around me in general.
In my view they were odd and I just could realize, that they like "merged" into "one brain", like everyone did this behaviour of wearing the same clothes, handbags and haircut.
But from there my memory of teenagers stops.

The best day of my life was the day that I walked out of that school for the very last time, and I've never looked back. I started being myself again, after I took my last step out of the front door.

The main difference is that the kids with ASDs are human, while the NTs are a rather rabid strain of chimpanzee.

NT teenagers aren't generally found on their own in school - they mostly hang around in groups and seem to act as though being on your own is a crime. Some NT teenagers may be seen on their own, but I think the common NT teenager are usually with at least one mate.
