If you could tell Neurotypicals one thing what would it be?

Well, first of all I would say a couple of things.

1. Don't get in the van

2. Go ahead, judge me, I dare you! Just take a look at my IQ first. Come on bro, I can skillfully apply knowledge reason and skill to solve complex problems better than you. I guarantee it.

Oh, btw the second one was meant only towards nts, not aspies! Because I guarantee that there are Aspies out there with an IQ greater than 142. Never underestimate.

Perception is NOT reality.

Perception is perception.

How you perceive me is not how I am.

How I perceive you is not how you are.

Get over your perceptions about autism and educate yourself. And do so by consulting AUTISTICS, not "experts."
Autistics are the experts on autism.

Why do you think it's ok to reject me from group work?
Even though I don't show it I do have feelings.
I'm not perfect but neither are you.
I maybe slow but I am much smarter than you.

Teach us to communicate, but learn from us a better way of communicating.

I am different, not less.

I have ADHD and Aspergers, two disabilities, yet when I do my homework....even from classes I'm not good in, I put my best effort and I don't look up the answers on google, cheat, or plagerize, or try to take the easy way in life. You have a healthy, normal brain, so why can't you work as hard as I do?

Empathy is a learned emotion, so it's not like it comes natural for you either.

There's more to life than temporary pleasure and partying.

Don't just assume that a solitary life full of interests you think are boring...doesn't make me depressed.

I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-stupidity.

Stop complaining

If you're going to stop me from going on and on about my special interests or insist that other people in the group have a turn talking, you better at least have something interesting, informative, or kind to say.

"Go die in a corner somewhere".

Or something of that ilk.
Not that I hate all mundies... I just hate all the boring, ordinary, normal ones (i.e. those that believe value is directly proportional to conformity).

I have no desire to fit in. I just want to get on with my life WITHOUT them screwing it up at every given opportunity, and would not shed the slightest of tears if they all died like the worthless cattle they are.

Stop believing the stereotypes.

I'm terrible at math beyond a third grade level. I'm an artistically minded person, and musically inclined.

I was never a tomboy. I enjoyed playing sports for fun with my male cousins and my female friends and their brothers as a child, but I was mostly into dolls and dress up like NT girls.

When trying to get a diagnosis for AS, and I still don't have a diagnosis, I was told I can't have AS because I have friends and a boyfriend. It might be harder for us to have friends and a relationship, but its not impossible. My boyfriend, even though he is NT, has Aspie like traits, and we share a lot of other traits too so that is why we get along really well.
And one good friend has brain damage from being shaken as a baby, so she knows what its like to be made fun of and be called the R word . And another good friend is naturally compassionate and good hearted.

Just because I don't cry at a funeral doesn't mean I don't care that the person died.

Just because I chuckle to myself in a quiet setting doesn't mean I'm psycho. I might be bored and am trying to pass the time by thinking of funny things so I don't become frustrated and moody.

To well meaning but ignorant relatives, I don't lose my temper out of meaness.
And to my sister, who in my opinion looks down on me.... Instead of shunning me and our parents for giving me special attention, you should be thankful you didn't inherit any mental disorders from mom and dad. Some kids on the spectrum need more attention than NT kids, at least I did. Our brother is a brother to me and loves me the way I am.

Thats all I can think of for right now. I hope all of you here on Wrong Planet have a happy Thanksgiving. And if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, happy holidays still.

We are different from you.

Accept us, or kindly piss off.

Thank you all so much!

Keep them coming! I've got 12 pages worth so far, and I thank you all My goal is 30 pages worth The actual eBook would be about 50 pages long then, once it's formatted and the like.

Don't call me 'normal'.

If someone tells you they have aspergers or autism, the last thing you should do is say something like "No you don't, you're too nice, social, smart, ect.. to have aspergers.", and then spurt out what you've heard about autism. Most likely, what you know is based on stereotypes.

"Autism Speaks: It's time to listen"? Well, shut the hell up and listen!

Jenny McCarthy has absolutely NO right to speak for the autism community!

More studies are coming out saying genetics play a big factor in a child having autism. So if you want to blame something for your kid's autism, blame genetics!

Albert Einstein was supposedly autistic. Would you have stopped him from being born if you were his mother?

Let's say in some fantasy world vaccines do cause autism. Are you saying losing a child to a twentieth century disease is better than having that same child with even the mildest case of autism?

Autism is like our fingerprints. No two cases are exactly identical.

I don't wish I could tell them anything. Just be nice to stick them in my head for a day.
