Uh, I dislike this 'neurotypical disorder' stuff. I know the parody is supposed to be a joke (I think) but I don't find it funny. It's as bad as the heartlessaspergers site. It's as though an Aspie is generalizing NTs in an angry and exaggerated way. NT isn't a disorder, it's the standard human brain wiring.

Most of the NT disorder stuff is not nearly the same as heartlessaspergers exactly because most of the "neurotypical disorder" material is meant to be sent and taken as a parody while heartlessaspergers is serious about their fear and hate.
Comedy is a necessary way to release tension and autistics living in an NT world sure have a lot of tension to release. War is anything but a joke yet comedy about the wars even during the total horror of WWII went on. Comedy and entertainment in general by necessity usually has to delve into exaggerations and stereotypes. The rougher the situation the more edgy the comedy often is. Or at least used to be. Now people are more easily offended and fearful of offending. This is not healthy.
Trigger warning humor about Nazi's and nuclear holocaust.
