You don't have to be Aspie or NT to be ignorant or closed-minded or not. Everyone is ignorant in some ways. That's just life, and that's how people are.

There's naught no queer as folk. (Or, updated version of this 600-year-old saying - there's nothing more strange as people).

As is the case with most of the stereotyping I see, I find your thesis a harsh overgeneralization.

Can't believe that the thread came this far without someone mentioning that the OP was a 9/11 tinfoilhatter. He's open minded to the point of believing that the world's leaders are really giant lizards with masks probably.

No matter the race, gender, and the nurodiversity in others, we are all human and every human will have some form of ignorence. That's just our nature.

Except they are worse off as they lack social skills, at least that is what I have observed, likewise the view that aspies are more gifted and more intelligent than NTs is also a myth.

Just to add that I am an aspie so I am not biased here.


I agree.....and yeah its annoying when people assume I have some sort of great intelligence or am gifted. I mean I am not even doing anything with my life and have no confidence so people need to lay off the.....'oh you can use this to your advantage' crap.
