I wish people (both NTs and Aspies) would have more patience for each others differences.

That they would try harder to understand, especially health care professionals.

Some of us understand :D Personally I just see it as different personalities - yeah I'm NT and I wish I could slap some sense into the general population.

Only considered "handicapped" because of the norms and customs of this alleged society being so irrational. Why should you have to make eye-contact? Why should I have to do mindless smalltalk? Why should I goof off and not be conscientious at work?

Anyway, I'm hoping that, "the meek shall inherit the Earth" bit in the bible had a typo and actually meant to say, "the geek shall inherit the Earth" - at this rate the NTs will probably destroy themselves.

One thing that bothers me about most NT's is even after I explain my AS so the understand where i'm coming from and all that, they still expect me to act more like them. :roll:
