dktekno,I can understand your feelings but I think it's important to keep things in
perspective. So-called NTs are welcome on this website and they don't deserve such
generalistations as wishing they were all dead !
I think NT is a near meaningless bullsh!t PC term:

The term originated in the autistic community, as a way to refer to non-autistic people. It sometimes therefore includes people with other types of atypical neurology such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, epilepsy and ADHD, although ADHD is often found with autism. However, in the strictest sense it refers only to typical neurology; this is how the neurodiversity movement uses the term.
The term was coined by members of an early, private e-mail list composed of mostly autistic adults and a few parents of autism spectrum children.[citation needed] Autistics.org popularized it in 1998 with the ISNT website. As people from the original list joined other lists the term was used by more autistic spectrum individuals, those who study them, and parents.
So "NT" was invented by some parents of autistic kids as a way of saying someone was not on the autism spectrum. It doesn't mean thay are "normal", and what is normal anyway? It doesn't mean they don't have some other disorder (I think I read somewhere that up to 10% of people have some pysch illness).
If not all aspies are alike. Why should all non-autistic spectrum people be alike. If there is an autism spectrum, why not a spectrum of other neurological types. When ever I see a post that someone hates all NT, I see them putting all sociopaths and narcassists together with genuinely nice people and condemning them all.
By saying you hate all NT's, you are saying you hate 95% of the population and you are not able to function in the real world?
And do you like
all aspies? I bet you don't like me
