Why Aspie can’t handle things like NT can?

Because autism sucks.

Because we're not NT? Our brains are literally different. It's like asking why doesn't a mac work like a windows computer.

Some things we might handle better than NTs though, depending on your personal strengths. I do well under pressure when it comes to academics for example, I can write essays and reports and study for exams in really short amounts of time (and do well). I got through uni largely by cramming everything into the weeks before the exams (...mostly because I don't take in information well in lectures and used to come out of almost every one going 'wtf was that even about?') but I was pretty good at doing that, and without doing a single late night. And I've done some jobs where other people really struggle because they get bored or lonely and in contrast I've been quite happy. I worked nightshifts stocking shelves in a couple of jobs and it had a really high staff turnover rate-people quit all the time because they couldn't handle the environment, but I loved it (it was so quiet, and you hardly had to talk to anyone, and I got to do so much organising).

...You know, I've sort of circled back to using the term " Asperger's " again !

Basically we handle life on manual control and they can do well on automatic pilot. This might be helpful;
