A question about NTs?

Yup that is why many are unemployed, undereducated, get divorced and have custody battles. That is just the tip of the iceberg too. Life is full of misery, and people on the spectrum in now way have a monopoly.

Yes. There are people who drift on autopilot but things generally don't work out too well for them. Being able to decode the body language and innuendos of other NTs on autopilot does not translate into being able to do everything (or even most things) on autopilot. Some people do try and may even manage to stay afloat for their 20's on autopilot. If they don't snap out of it by their 30's, things go badly for them.

But things CAN work it for aspies and they don't ALWAYS work out for NTs right?

My dad works with a man who has 4 boys - 3 NTs and one Aspie, and they are all aged between 17 and 23. But apparently the oldest is suffering from chronic depression, and the other NT can't seem to hold down a job. The other NT is at college, just doing a basic computer course, but apparently he only likes being there because of his 2 best mates, not really for the course. And the Aspie, age 21, already has a girlfriend (who is NT but really loves him), and he has found a job doing engineering, (what he is really happy in), and him and his girlfriend are looking for a flat together. That's what my dad told me.

Also, I know a young woman who got married to a young man about 4 months ago, then the man suddenly walked out on her for no reason, and is now sending nasty, immature texts. And these are both NTs here, plus the woman is a confident person who could do better, but has just ended up marrying a complete a***hole - and also she knew he was an a***hole before they married, but she still went along with it.

So life has no affect on whether you're an Aspie or NT. In fact, in a way, NTs probably have it worse when it comes down to their social and marriage lives, especially youngsters of today. My mum and dad know countless amount of people who have had nothing but problems with their partners and their friends. It's just the ''joys'' of being a human.
I could go all through the marriage problems what all my NT aunts and uncles and cousins have been through in my life, but I don't like to write all their personal experiences on the internet.

NTs have a sense of what is going on intuitively. They don't have to think about what just comes naturally to them.

Us poor Aspies have to reduce everything to a procedure.

you mean to say not one person who is not NT was in on that? i doubt it.
