The Aspergian point-of-view isn't even fully understood by our doctors yet and is littered with stereotypes and disinformation. I know this, but despite all of the challenges still facing the AS community, we really do have some resources out there to help ground ourselves into an understanding of who we are - and how that person can fit into the bigger picture that is 'our individual worlds.'
Neurotypicals are just as diverse as Aspies, but it can be harder for them to find resources, or the motivation to even look for resources, to help them better cope with and understand who they are. Even a diamond has to be shined and shaped before it's beauty can be appreciated and admired. We, fortunately, I believe have the motivation to keep pushing through life - improving all the way. Life is easier for my family.
I feel, despite having AS as a condition, that I'm mentally ahead of the rest of my family - I guess that's why I just take the high road and refuse to argue. I've let family members make mistakes, after only warning them once - I have a clean conscious at that point. Thing is though if I was to push the issue everytime I thought, or knew, I was right ... I'd be alone.
People want to be heard - even if they are wrong. They aren't being wrong no purpose after all; so we can show tolerance, by example, to various NT ignorant-moments when the appear. I sure am gratefully when I get a free pass when I'm having one of my 'days '
Part of what comes with Asperger's is a high IQ and lots of analytical processing power; this is a gift in my opinion that not everyone in life gets to experience.
