They don't all necessarily understand you, in fact some can be quite mean or ignorant. But then, to my knowledge, all my family are NT's, my boyfriend is an NT as are all my workmates and most of my friends. Because of this, I try not to generalise, is this what you are trying to say? That we shouldn't judge all NT's on the basis of some of them? If so then I can see where you are coming from. You get people on here saying that all NT's suck or they must die. If they did though, I wouldn't have my family, my boyfriend or a lot of my friends.....then where would I be? If they all died ,I may never have been born at all.........

Just a thought but it could be because they treat us like s**t and continue to define us as diseased.

That point is very well spoken.

What do you have against proper grammar and proper casing?

I didn't know we all had it against NT's on here. Maybe a few on here have posted terrible things against NT's but those people are likely trolls or people who really do not have Aspergers. In case you haven't noticed many of the people on here are self diagnosed and may indeed have various mental disorders or emotional problems and not AS. AS is just becoming a very popular thing to say one has if they have difficulty with other humans.

I personally like NT's. All of my friends are NT's. I know a couple of AS but wouldn't consider them friends because they are too difficult to talk to or be around. I have dated only NT's. It would be the rare AS I would date because I think AS relationships are disasters waiting to happen. Some NTs are mean like the ones that bullied me as a child, but I have heard of some pretty nasty AS kids. So I think it comes down to some people are mean and some are not. Has nothing to do with being NT. Most NT's are nice to me especially if they know I have Aspergers.

One how about you provide quotes backing up "all" us against NT's. You have a few
number of flakes here who think NT are some evil bread but they are as I said flakes.

Second forget the concept of AS or NT telling people your problems is not a guaranteed that they will understand what you want them to. They are just as likely
to bully you as treat you well with such understanding. Proof of this is the large number of families that do not "understand" their AS family members.

NT's hate us because we are different. They bully us, ostricize us, call us names, beat us up, harass and ridicule us, turn us into scapegoats, take advantage of us.

Solid,

I'm surprised you act that way. Someone here said "all nts must die". People, including me, said he was NUTS, etc.... We just don't like how NTs act. I can echo what everyone else here has said so far, except lkonantz. NONE was unfair to NTs.

Most NTs don't understand me. I have an aide in school (2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th period) that I do NOT get along with. I get along well with my NT 5th period aide, though. I don't like making eye contact with neurotypicals and most are likely to laugh at my bizarre behavior and interests/hobbies.

BTW, I was wondering if people without Asperger's Syndrome but with ADD/ADHD, schizophrenia and people with personality disorders are also called NTs.

I am interested, theoretically, in the idea of an AS separatist community, but not because "all NTs are evil." I would just like to see how or even if we could all function without the constant social pressures normal society places upon us. However in my heart of hearts, I don't think such a community would work, because we are all too messed up. But just in case it could work, I have placed the community motto in my signature 8).

Misunderstanding. It is ironic that some people here want to turn around and give 'normal' people the very same treatment that causes them depression and pain.

I had a friend check this website out and he was shocked at the amount of anger towards 'normal' people. Eventually, one must just look past another person and just realize that you can't help their ignorance. Sounds like an afterschool special but its true.

That's a good point logitech... we attract the worst ones, since we attract bullies.

I find the tone of your posts rather insulting. Why are you even on here if you have no problems functioning in society? To gloat over your high IQ?

Yes because having a mental or emotional disorder excludes all other diagnoses. It couldn't be caused by a lifetime of undiagnosed Aspergers and feeling like a total freak could it? Co-morbid diagnoses hello? Nope. Asperger children are little professors just like Einstein, who don't have any emotional issues at all. And they're all born into little happy families who are well-off financially. Hopefully that is not the general consensus on these forums but who knows.

I dont hate NT by the way. Many of them will just find me odd and I will notice that, or they might make some snide remarks. So my social network doesnt evolve at all, and of course my coping skills also suffer because of it. It probably doesn't help to come across as very arrogant either. I don't think many people where I live know anything about disorders like this. The big topic is and has been ADHD for a long time - those kids get all the attention in the media and schools.
