Ok...

NT's are obviously different in ways from us and splitting people up is useful in terms of medication, and helping each other.. Isolating ourselves or claiming we're morally elite is far from the truth however.

Let us try to stop calling them ignorant, for we ourselves are ignorant in our own ways.

Let us try to stop calling them stupid, naive and full of lies, because we simply see through a lot of things many people find important.

This WILL NOT help the image of AS in any way, shape, or form!

If we get along better with each other that is wonderful, but if we continue the anti-NT attitude we're only going to hurt others, and ourselves.

I've met more than a few wonderful NT's, and I'm sure if you think about it almost every one of you would have too.

Excuse the semi-jumbled structure I'm tired.

I totally agree with you, Scintillate!

Let us try not to stoop down to the level of the very same people whose behavior we abhor. Otherwise we just look like hypocrites and not really much different from "them."

Its not no reason theyre genetically programmed to do that. Its instinct and they arent very good at fighting their instincts.

I agree with scintillate also, aslo. :) I was thinking about this the other day but I didn't know how to put it into the right words. :D

I respect others even if the diffriences between us are immensely uncountable. But as long as they respect me for who I am. I will respect them for who they are.

I wish more people are like that around my age. But it nearly all seems that the somewhat older people practice this. But not necessarily. :D

Ignorance is when you Ignorant and have not acknowledged it. With not intention of be lead by the hand to enlightenment. Same case as many of my workplace not willing to accept that I have aspergers when they have no knowledge of what it is and have no intention in finding out either

If unlike NTs I am spiritually ignorant then I am practicing Buddhism and meditation so I can get to know myself and others much better then I can.

If you can tell me where an Aspie is ignorant and doesn’t realise it, could you please let us know because I want to know.

Have you ever met an Aspie who thought he understood everything about how people work, and was very judgmental about everything? Who, despite attempts to persuade him otherwise, held fast to his beliefs and just hated anybody else who disagreed with him?

Just out of curiosity... why do you believe we should quit segregating when they themselves will not tolerate us?

This assumes that all NTs are the same, and they aren't. Some people won't accept you, that much is definitely true, but does that mean that we should pre-emptively segregate ourselves? I can understand it from a perspective of self-protection, to prevent getting hurt any further, but by doing that you run the risk of pushing away people who actually are understanding and tolerant.

I've met quite a few people (NT and AS) who had been hurt so many times in the past, that they actually pushed people away before any problems actually happened.

A big inattentive ADHD group hug back to you all. I am not the same as you but I have other magical superhuman powers!! Buwhahaha!! ! :twisted: :twisted: :lol: And by the way, I came to the board to learn. No one has shown me the door so I consider that I now have squatters rights!! ! :) Can I be your NT house dog? :D

So far I have learned lots. The one thing that strikes me is that Aspies have a unique way of debating. I can't put my finger on it but it is refreshing.

Maybe it's because we consider all angles, and yet are open for debate? I may be wrong about that, but I know I'm speaking for myself.

So according to you that is the way EVERY NT is? And people with AS are nothing like that? I think you are wrong. I think this is the way HUMANS are. We have to stop using terms like 'Aspies' and 'NT's' like they are absolutes and everybody posessing those qualifications behave, think or act in a certain way. Aspies can be pricks and NT's can be kind and understanding. You are just feeding the flame of ignorance and creating the whole 'us and them' mentality.
