I don't blame NTs for my problems; I blame the huge history of mental illness that runs through my family for my problems.

I also call them customers, they supply my living. I take money from all kinds.

Hold off for a while, they make the things I use.

My only problem with them was seeing them, and the computer solves that.

We cease being AS online. The Internet cures it.

IdahoRose claims a huge history of family mental illness, then makes crafty use of a ;

It is only a problem in person, and we leave that behind on the web.

I have noticed NTs are web impaired. I have no problem speaking to one billion online.

They lose all ability to socialize if they cannot make eye contact, read body language, grab paws, grunt and squeal, and their brains are not wired right to type talk text.

Net social cues are very different, and I read them well.

I don't really blame them for anything; they've always just been what they are, as surely as I've always just been what I am.

The fact that we're incompatible is neither of our fault; so it would be a mistake to think that they're just mean.

Often enough, though, it's hard to resist viewing them collectively as an enemy people; even if there are good ones among them — I'm sure there are a lot of Iranians who have wonderful personalities, and are very good and kind people, after all (and you could probably even walk the streets of that place without facing lots of open hostility from the locals).

If we all got together at a giant Wrong Planet convention do you think we would actually get along?


One person quoting Shakesphere, another talking about Meteors. Some people talking too loud for the sensitive hearing of others. Some stimming others bothered by it.

It the internet cures Autism it also seems to be creating it. It's said people are losing thier ability to interact.

Here comes the kingdom of the blind and we are the one eyed king.

Yeah... you would never get the previous me admitting to this (part of the jerkiness :P) but I for one was - probably caused by fear and tbf unawareness - being a bit of a jerk. I was definately arrogant.

I think maybe we both can learn from the other; maybe this is the secret to life? hmmm... to meet a different type of human in the middle, and we both learn new things about the other. just an idea ( i have too many ideas...)

"grab their paws, grunt and squeal"

For some reason that made me laugh out loud... I suddenly got this mental picture of chimpanzees sitting in front of a computer hooting, hollering, and jumping up and down (throwing their poo at the computer screen) because someone doesn't like the same movies they do!

I'm in a weird mood today. 8O

haha it made me laugh too. ya know, they always say; aspies speak too loudly at times, but really, i personally think NTs talk louder, more often, especially in public, like on the train for instance, grrrrr ... the mundane conversations are sooooooooo boring and stupid! ahhh, now i feel better...

There are a lot of decent NTs who do befriend us and offer assistance. That being said, we cannot blame every misfortune that happens on us as NT oppression. Yes even aspies can bring on their own misfortunes just like NTs.


Thank you for the nice post!
