| Yes, you are right of course, "innate" was the wrong word to use. A person may well be implying a superiority that was earned through great effort, and pointing this out could be completely rational. |

| There is really no such thing as race. All humanoids are now of the same species, and we almost certainly killed off all of the other humanoids quite intentionally. Even if we were "racially" different in some significant way, what we really hate are other cultures, and that is a joke because cultur... |

| Socially (AS to NT): If you speak, you will be misunderstood. If you listen, you will not understand. People will respond to things you didn't mean, and you will respond to things they didn't mean. Typical conversation: AS: It's nice weather today, do you want to go canoeing? NT: I wanted to go last... |

I think it is just one of those NT sayings. Here's my best AS translation:
(I think)(my) Respect must be earned (by you specifically)(the reverse is not true, implying my innate superiority). |

If you think it is, do you think that slaves in the South were criminals for trying to run away? It was against the... |

| To make life easier, just assume that when someone says "better functioning" they automatically imply "better social functioning" ... that is what they mean. If you grant that the world is overwhelmingly NT, then you should allow that "normal" is NT, and therefore NT social interaction is "better" i... |

| I am 46 years old, so in a much better position than a 16 year old to gauge the usefulness of being in therapy, and yet I have only had unhelpful and even frustrating experiences with therapists. I'm 48, and I've been to over a dozen therapists, mostly at the request of my NT wife. None were helpfu... |

| My aspie sister has always eaten the same foods. Aspie me, on the other hand, likes a lot of different foods. However, I did drive everyone crazy for many years by not mixing my food. I would eat all of my peas, then my roll, then all of my fish, etc ... I don't know why this bothered other people. ... |

| It is genetic. Environmental factors aren't passed down from generation to generation. There is no "explosion" in austism disorders, there is an explosion in awareness.

I'm sure plenty of women selected my sperm based on my high IQ and creative talents in writing and music. I also put that I had won a Nobel Prize. Nobody ever seems to fact-check ... |

| Men are evolutionary cannon fodder, by design. It only takes one man to impregnate a hundred women. The males of most mammalian species are expendable, and so take on far more of the danger and risk. Why are male birds flashy and females plain? The easy-to-spot males attract all the predators.

| Due to bad experiences in the social realm, some aspies become paranoid. If he doesn't appear to be paranoid, just go for it, physically. If he recoils, he might have a lot of anxiety about sex if it is uncharted social territory for him -- but he will probably go along with it. The male brain is go... |
