Intellectual pursuits are a privilege. If you want respect from most people, you need to earn it by proving you’re no less tough and able to physically stand up for yourself and fight for survival than them in whatever circumstances they happened to deal with. They won’t take it kindly if you’ve been sheltered so you could develop your intellectual interests while they were busy honing their street smarts and fighting skills out of necessity.

when you judge others to be stupid, you need to be prepared to accept being judged as stupid yourself (possibly and especially by yourself). in that case, it's fair. otherwise, you're declaring yourself infallible, which is stupid

in my opinion, it's not wrong to "think of neurotypicals as stupid". it's just stupid :)
