They love to over-regulate everything to the point of defying common sense. Why don't they care about logic or differentiating between separate situations?

Because logic isn't everything?

Why must neurotypicals overregulate everything?

because they don't know they are neurotypicals. . . poor things. If we are going to generalize and stereotype a nebulous group of people and how "they" set things up for others to follow alway remember they don't know why they are like that, too. They were born the way they were just like I was.

Why create rules and regulations without any logical basis? If a rule was created due to certain circumstances, why not use your mind to judge instead of creating rules that screw half of the people over?

They only understand if you point out your logic and always stay 2 steps ahead of them, anticipating each and every response. We cannot expect them to figure it out on their own.

Because the world is a very big place, and you can't always cater to the whims of the minorities. Sad but true.

What if it isn't the whim of the minority but half? For example, not being permitted to take more than 3 classes outside of your career program. This rule was made due to those on financial aide, in order to prevent financial waste. But what about those who pay everything in tuition without any government assistance? Why should so many semesters be put to waste due to those who fail to pay?

Do you have a specific situation in mind?

Personally, I'm not convinced that the things you ask about are even true, as generalizations. I don't think that's how it always is. I'm not saying it's never like that. But not always. Thus my question.

I already stated the specific situation

Because they're scared of free thinkers.

I've abandoned the NT/Aspie dichotomy but I think this is an interesting topic. I'll rephrase it, hope you don't mind "why do people overregulate everything?"
One thing I wish they didn't overregulate is the market. Free market society, supposedly, here in the US, but no one wants anyone to make money on their own. You have to obtain a permit just to breath, almost. I'm suprised they haven't found a way to tax the spare change street people get by calling it "tips".

Excellent.

You have just proved the subtle and very complex inference made through those particular keywords

that Human beings are not logical.

WHen I posted Bananas, I simply typed the first word that came into my head, completely unmeditated. It was an act of pure, unfettered chaos. then I realised that it proved my point.

Not only that, but your own reply was equally random, and I'm hope unmeditated as well proving that our minds are governed by the subconscious, not by logic.

If human beings were logical creatures, we would be able to use logic to predict what I was going to reply and counteract it. like wise, I did not predict that you would say carrots and asparagus, proving that I am not logical either. I also doubt that anyone readign this thread, save for a few cunning people, would've guessed what I said, and the hypothesis I am now putting forth.

this makes me feel that all human reasoning is subjective, and does not always follow a rigid pattern.

therefore, It is my belief that I am not logical, you are not logical, and the human race is not Logical.

Quod Erat Demonstrandum.

Although I disagree, that was a good psychological experiment.

My response was random; however it was not unmeditated. Because you named fruits, I decided to name vegetables in return. It may be related to my AS that my thoughts are almost always conscious and internally verbalized.

Human beings generally do not have psychic abilities to predict future behavior unless there is some kind of a previous pattern in order to form conclusions using inductive reasoning. Of course, these predictions are not always 100 percent accurate. Some occurrences are not entirely logical or predictable.
