Nice one, that was funny. My mental health personally makes me less than a person. We function worse. In terms of fitness (ability to reproduce) we lose.


Yeah but hyperfocus and fixed interest are super powers.

Thinking 24/7 about killing yourself isn't a superpower though. Being terrified of people. Constant fear of abandonment.

Or just say things.

This made me laugh. There is a lot of truth there.

I don't suppose that goes down very well.

Hah! Nope :) I know all too well...

I have been friends with someone since 2008 and sometimes we "break up" because one of us (usually her) becomes offended at something the other said or did. Wait a couple of weeks or months and one of us gives in and texts the other and the friendship is back on again.

I also like to keep myself busy, so I don't have time to worry about what NTs think of us.


And I was gonna say most of them would assume that we have too much time on our hands which is generally a reason why they don't really bother much. Basically its like "well you have time on your hands so whenever we talk is whenever we talk".

Why sometimes do neurotypicals find people with aspergers objectionable?


because some NTs are asshats. Case in point Trump.

If somebody finds me "objectionable" because I have autism, I just put them on permanent "ignore."

The whole concept is ridiculous.
