What do you find weird about neurotypicals?

Post Reply New Topic

It annoys me how these people are so ignorant of what's going on in the world. I tried explaining some stuff about pollution to them and they just didn't understand why it was a big deal. But it's not just that. It feels like any of the major problems with the world, these people just don't want to even think about it or acknowledge that things arent' 100% okay. I don't know if it's because TV made them that way, if our previous generation didn't teach us proper values or what. But it seems to me like a lot of people on the earth right now are trying to ignore how hard life is going to get in the future and their children even further ahead.

Lots of things.

Just in general there is a type of neurotypical I cannot figure out, and I can be overly harsh on the ones I am thinking of. The one's that seem to care more about what others think of them than what they think of themselves, and aren't very open. They often seem to have an attitude of, "Optimism kills anxiety" and cannot understand being unable to easily regulate yourself. They are normally fine people, but they don't make any sense at all to me in any aspect of how they act or carry themselves.

Why do so many Aspies think NTs are dimwits stuck in dead-end jobs and have no hobbies or interests and just sit around gossiping or watching mind-numbing reality shows on TV all the time? That is the biggest stereotype I've ever heard.

Lots of NTs have hobbies and interests. I know that as a fact because I know LOTS of NTs, my family are all NTs, I have NT friends, I work with NTs, my boyfriend is NT, and there are more.

NTs do seem to think an awful lot about sex don't they? It seems to govern every aspect of their decision-making process from the most minut to the very grandiose.

From someone who has been classified as
A-sexual I can go many many hours without thinking about sex in any form whereas the NTs seem to think about it once every 10 seconds so this part of them does perplex me so.

As far as I know, I'm not asexual, but I can go many hours without remembering sex exists till some normal person brings it up. The reason is the same why I don't usually think of eating caviar---it'd be a complete waste of time.

Normal people think of sex because they do have sex.

Not saying exactly what they want, lying and scheming and playing games with others (which is also not saying what you really want in a way), not being themselves, how they don't understand certain things are difficult for you and can't comprehend that not everyone work like they do... I've had people tell me to get over things I find very difficult even after i've told them that and even been told that my asperger-traits will fade away with time and similar things. And how much energy they have to do things and stay active constantly... I get tired just thinking about it.

Oh and how they get uncomfortable because I don't make an effort to constantly smalltalk and think that there is something wrong with me because I can be quiet for long periods of time.

I don't understand why they're so fake. Like for example, I feel like people are my friends because they smile to me and stuff but then they're not my friends because we don't talk outside college, we don't meet outside college... But then the day after they smile again at me. I mean that really confuses me and sometimes I think to myself "please people make a decision! Either you're my friend, either you're not!". And then sometimes I have this impression that the world around me is not real. I don't know if that makes sense. haha
Also on Facebook, people wish me "Happy Birthday!" but I don't talk to them, what does that mean??

What can we do to help these poor people. Should we organise an Ntism Awareness Month ? Perhaps we can devise a form of ABA for them, just some simple drills like "Happy Hands" could make such a difference to their lives. Have we any Ntism Heros who can give Ntistic children Stimming Lessons to help them regulate their moods and keep them safe from the dangers of alcohol and other drugs when they grow up?

Perhaps we need to adapt education to their profiles. it is tragic how few people with Ntism manage to find themselves a passionate interest. So many wasted lives and mindless consumption could be saved just by something like this.

The thing about neurotypicals that can irritate me is their (somewhat frequent) emphasis on social "normality," and the fear of getting embarrassed. Sometimes, I really have to bite the bullet when I feel like I want to talk about the weather in a rather profound way.

It means the world to them to "save face" among their peers.

Talking so much about so little (" much Ado about nothing")

Talking so much

Saying "I have a question" as interrogative statements require a preface; while exclamatory, imperative and declarative statements do not

How everything is so simple and dichotomous:. Good, bad. Nice, mean. Help, hrrt

How everything is totally dramatic

"Nice to see you" and "how are you?". What is the function of asking.

Vague misleading broad statements with overly broad implications

For example:. "you make people uncomfortable with the way you dress!". A homophobic precious lil "person" had the nerve to tell me. (Crossdressing, San Diego 2006)


The solar system contains about eight billion people. "People" literally means two or more, but "people" sounds like everyone. Everyone is either:. Comfortable, neither, or uncomfortable.

At the time the speaker told me that, I was 21 years old

Within 21 years, more than two precious lil "people" found it hrrt their eyeballs the way I dress.

Yes but more than two people are uncomfortable when Trump is president of the United States

Then what?

And more than two people are "uncomfortable" when I continue living

Then what?

The speaker sounded like he implied that precious lil "people" have veto authority/power over anything I say or do , on the basis that I (it) makes them "uncomfortable".









In other words I have no rights or emotions and I am not a person
