Virtually everyone I know and have ever known are NT. A world without NT's would be a very weird world indeed. But considering the world is dominated and (for the large part) run by NT's, it's hard to imagine what it would be like without them.

Now I'm getting far too philosophical. Maybe I should answer the question...

Yes, I do have NT friends. At times I find them illogical, strange, unpredictable and downright weird, but it's also impossible to generalise NT's. They're all so different from me and from each other, and difference between people is what makes the world go round* I have a lot to learn from my NT friends, and just maybe they have one or two things they could take from me.

*Not literally.

I love the replies I've been getting. I agree that I may have overgeneralized NTs a little. I was mainly addressing their NTness(it's a word if I say it is.lol). Hodor, first of all is your name taken from the norse god? Second of all I especially love what you had to say. I believe that Humans come in different neurotypes for a reason. I think Aspies are actually necessary for our advancement and so are NTs. I think the human race would not have come this far without having all our bases covered.

Indeed, some of the best inventors in history might have had Aspergers. Sadly, as we can't bring them back from the dead, we'll never know for sure. A world totally run by autistic people would be just as odd and imbalanced as a world without anyone on the Spectrum.

And thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my post. :) My name isn't taken from a Norse god, but good guess.

I don't have any NT friends but it doesn't follow that I dislike all NTs - I'm just not good at making friends.
