Dealing with NT's is like giving an Angry cat a bath

Oh, bummer, I really feel for you. I used to live, went to college, and worked in the Bible Belt, and got a lot of the Christian woo woo (which I found a lot more irritating than the New Age or Eastern Religion woo woo I hear in other places I've lived). Maybe it was because Christian woo woo was so darned aggressive--they'd work it into practically every conversation and go into long, boring monologues trying to convert my heathen soul. People in most other religions and liberal Christian churches don't tend to be so pushy about it.

My parents were college professors, with my dad being a geologist, so I was pretty much raised on Evolution As Truth. I knew more about dinosaurs than my high school biology teacher. I used to get into long arguments with conservative Christians in high school and college, but finally realized I was wasting my time and just getting annoyed.

I eventually learned that the only way to win is not to play. If people asked what my religion was or if I'd been saved, I would politely say that I preferred not to discuss it. If they tried to work religion into the conversation, I would change the subject, or pretend they had not brought it up. By the way, if you are being denied opportunities because of your religion, or lack of it, that's discrimination. As for missing on social cues, could you talk to your manager and tell him/her that you don't pick up things like body language or subtext?

The NT’s are Blackmailing us with “Woo Woo”

4. “Don’t get technical with me!” = Your “Precision” is easily defeated with my “Woo Woo”.
Precision, Logic, Rationality: That is What we are at the Core.

The NT”s are throwing a Tantrum when We do not automatically Prostrate to their Social Superiority.

Non-Conformance to Social Mores and “NT Personality Quirks” is attacked with “Woo Woo”.


Woo-woo (or just plain woo) refers to ideas considered irrational or based on extremely flimsy evidence or that appeal to mysterious occult forces or powers.

adj. concerned with emotions, mysticism, or spiritualism; other than rational or scientific; mysterious; new agey. Also n., a person who has mystical or new age beliefs.

When used by skeptics, woo-woo is a derogatory and dismissive term used to refer to beliefs one considers nonsense or to a person who holds such beliefs.

There are NT members of this forum with family members/friends/loved ones on the spectrum. Do you think they like hearing about how much autistic people hate all NTs and how NTs are so inferior to us in everything they do? Do you think saying things like that helps either us, or them, or anybody?

I know the world of work and incomprehensible NT agendas is frustrating.
It's good that you're able to vent here.
