We have been referred to as Vulcans due to our preference in embracing our intellect rather than our emotions.
I joined the Vulcan Confederacy decades ago.

It was hilarious and so true. Too bad it's gone now. But anyway many people probably feel like we're a different species.

I am offended by that piece of garbage.
You are entitled.
It is a bit iffy, but I am easy-going when it comes to humour.
Not particularly comfortable with the idea of NTs making we Auties the butt of their jokes.
Though I have absolutely no trouble making fun of them.
I wouldn't be surprised if a naughty autie had a hand in the "Spergers" entry.

I didn't know that Hans Asperger was...an Aus-STRAL-ian!
Actually... I did know that.
Australia is that country in the Alps that is right next door to...uh....to SWEDEN!! ! ! !
There is Swedish Alps, and then there is the Australian Alps. And theyre both famous for skiing. And for kangaroos!

Hans Asperger was Aus-TRI-an not Australian. Not that the page should be taken as "educational", but it's a strange bit to get wrong after getting the name right.
Also, the counterpart to that page is pretty amusing too. https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Neurotypical_syndrome

Erm.
I borked at this also, at first.
But remember the warnings of the site.
Something about the information being deliberately and humorously misleading?
It is a satirical/comical website.
It is explicitly NOT meant to be taken seriously.

Umm.... it was a joke.
And also: Han Aspergers was a psychiatrist, and not a "primatologist". Calling the Austrian psychiatrist "an Australian primatologist" shoulda been a tipoff to readers (like you and Joe90) that the piece is a put on.

Why?
Just makes Asperger's feel more isolating than it really is.
Unless it's a joke?
If you read it it's kinda obvious that it's a joke.
Well, normally I don't take things seriously, but because I am very sensitive about my ASD, it doesn't take much for me to feel singled out when all I want is to feel like a normal human being.
It's a bit like if someone makes a joke about Indian people or black people, it is deemed as offensive and racist, even if it's a harmless joke not to be taken seriously.
I assumed (rightly, or wrongly) that the guy who wrote it (maybe because his article had the strong vibe of insider first hand experience) was himself an aspie/autistic. If he is ASD then it would be like Blacks comics poking fun at Blacks. Fine. If I am wrong, and he is an NT, then...well he does talk about aspies as being brainy, and so forth, so even if he were NT he is not being completely derogatory.
Agreed.

I understand it's not to be taken seriously, as I already said. I didn't realize you were joking at first (even though it's painfully obvious now), so I wanted to correct it.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.Neurotypicals and autistics are the same species. This is proven by the fact that both can be produced by the same human parents -- neurotypicals and autistics can be siblings, even twins.
Thank you for sharing the obvious.

Whatever. Sometimes the obvious facts need to be stated, if only to refute mere opinions.
