Well I've learnt something on WP. I've learnt that lack of empathy and understanding is a normal human trait to do it to those who are a bit different to us. It is NOT a unique Aspie trait at all. I keep saying this but nobody seems to get it.
Aspies find understanding and empathy difficult to NTs because NTs are different to Aspies in some ways. But NTs also find understanding and empathy difficult to Aspies because Aspies are different to NTs in some ways. So NTs and Aspies alike are just as bad as eachother. So that is why I really can't understand why they use ''lack of empathy'' to put down on the Autistic criteria as one of the common traits, because everybody is like it to anyone who is different in some way.
So it's like, NTs are allowed to have a lack of empathy for Aspies, but when it comes to Aspies having the same lack of empathy for NTs it is considered a problem.
Doesn't anyone get it? I really don't think it's fair.
This is something that I've realized for many years. The reason that it is considered a problem from us and not from NT's, is simply because we are in the minority. And scientific and social consensus is created by those who form the majority. They are the ones who have the power to decide what is and isn't a problem, and we need to tell them to shut up and stop listening to them.
