I know that hate is a strong word, that's probably why I'm using it. I know alot of nice normal people who try to help me through life. But they just don't understand me. I can say something that annoys me about them and it ends up hurting them, etc.

I have a nice person that helps me with life skills, kind of like a teacher. When we joke around, I feel comfortable with her but when she gets serious and teaches me, at times she makes me feel unconfortable. Alot of times I would think that she is mad at me, so I say that I'm sorry. And she'll smile and say "You don't need to apoligize, your fine." It's not her fault, it's this DARN disconnection I've got with Normal people. They're like machines that are somewhat broken and I got to deal with them every single day. My parents don't understand my Asperger's Syndrome so I told them that I'll handle them for now on.

I feel that I'm no longer comfortable with Norms and I still can't weight to meet the people who have AS over at College. I need some AS friends in my life so I can feel less anger at the world. Who knows, if I find a girlfriend with AS at college, then God have finally answered my prayer from the rejects box.

There is no such thing as a 'normal' person to my knowledge.
Who defines normal ?

normal to AS is AS
one with AS cannot be what they dont know.
BE AS, but adapt to be courteous, dont ever try and be non AS.
It wont work.

Ohhh c'mon, u cant be angry at those NT's who dont help ya. It would be nice if everyone helped everyone but in the end, u cant expect them 2. Im glad u decided to go to collage, itll be a whole new world for ya. Man, seriously, i know its hard, but u gotta chill out. I used to say sorry 1,000 times a day to ppl, u gotta act more like them if u want to be accepted, hardly do i hear ppl apologize, and so, im not conserned if I offend someone so much, unless i do something that definatly would be offencive, something i did mean, i dont say sorry. Try to be more laid back with ppl (i know its hard). Dont kill yourself/beat yourself up when around them, just chill and talk.

We gotta be seld sufficent! Dont expect or count on favors from anybody. I learned this years ago and it helped me out tremendously. You cant expect others to make changes for u, u gotta change for them sometimes, as unfortunate as it may be.

"Normal" is the 68% in the middle of the bell curve, less than 1 standard deviation from the mean. Another word for normal is "common."

Oh yeah, I love normal people. They are boring, they are fake, they have useless conversations and above all, they are all the same. In fact, they all have the same lightly utilized brain, they just look different.

I also hate people who call themselves normal. The female skeletons who dress like fashion models and walk down the sidewalks remind me of my younger NT sister and how my mum likes her better than she likes me.

Yeah, I guess I just got to go for the right. But why do I feel so uncomfortable? Why do I feel anger at times for no real reason? Why do normal people tick me off at times? Can you guys understand what I'm getting at?

No one is normal with a capital N. Society's conception of normal - and the ones I have read here - are fictitious and ultimately deceptive. The followers of the established mean do not even configure nor determine themselves but fashion their identity by simply flowing with a pre-established path that they are thrown into. This is what 'normal' is because this is what normally occurs and this is how society and people have normally developed...

If this is the case we are all normal because we all have this normal introduction to life. It's like being shot out of a cannon and the target you land on determines the rest of your life. You have the freedom to choose and this free spectrum widens as you age but every choice you make determines the handful of choices you will have in the future.

Everyone seems pretty normal to me because they live life and make choices.


PS:
Calling them normal implies that you perceive yourself as abnormal which can ultimately hinder you're development and being.

That may be as so and I am well aware of that, but that still doesn't really explain what 'normal' is.
The bell curve is still based, in the end, on others' definition of what 'normal' is.
I maintain, there is no such thing as 'normal'
Only what other human beings have decided one must be to be considered 'normal'.

Perhaps it is because these other people beat you in the game of consciousness and determine you by making you feel abnormal and out of place. It's like a game and whoever backs down first becomes the determinant rather than the determiner.

Anger? Perhaps its because these "normal" people you speak of determine your faith without asking your opinion, possibly due to your behaviour or the way you carry yourself; the more you let others determine who you will become the more you are losing and the more of slave in shackles you are becoming.

I think one of the reasons why I dislike Norms is because I can't read their facial expressions / body launguage and the disconnection of understanding. For example, If I get a norm angry or sad, I wouldn't know what I did wrong. And if a Norm made me feel angry or sad, they won't know eather.

To me this is a myth so far since I haven't meet anyone like me but, Is it true that aspies can understand other aspies?
