They assume we are dicks so then they act like dicks towards us in return. Its due to them misunderstanding us AS people.

They are unaware so it can't hurt them to treat them badly.

"You act weird so you're asking for it".
"You bring it on yourself".
"You bring out the worst in others".

Aspies can be dicks too btw. I've encountered a number of them in my time.

I would say a good portion of NTs lack empathy and an ability to think beyond themselves, they are by their nature hostile to anything that lies beyond their norms and interests.

I've never knowingly met anyone with AS so haven't witnessed anyone being a dick to them. I suspect the justification people use for being a dick to people with AS is the same as people without AS , they don't need justification they are just dicks.

People think they can cure us by treating us like chopped liver.

They're dicks to everybody. We just take it more personally.

And I was gonna say "oh but you don't feel anything from it" or something to that extent.

There is no justification for being a dick to anybody. I don't understand why people think they're are justified in acting stupid.

This is what I overheard people say about a AS kid that was once on my bus.

"Don't talk to her. She is so annoying and won't leave anyone alone. She's, like, mentally ret*d. She cried when we told her '248RPA killed Santa'."

So I guess people justify it on the reasons of AS people being annoying and acting weirdly.

Once upon a time I was being harassed by someone on the internet. He wouldn't leave me alone and wouldn't stop messaging me. But anyway when he wouldn't leave me alone and kept on harassing me, I started to be a dick to him for real because I was trying to get him to leave me alone and he wouldn't take no for an answer. I have tried to be nice to him and I even tried blocking him but he kept coming back under new screen names so I started to be a dick to him for real so he wouldn't want to talk to me anymore. Didn't work of course because he was a freak and had mental issues and was a textbook narcissist. So I created a new screen name to ditch him so I could continue talking to my online friends without having to sign off and end our conversations because of him. Then AIM added a new feature so I started to be invisible. That took care of it.
