Why do I feel that...

...Society has the issue and that there's nothing wrong with me?

I'm kind to people, I'm intelligent, I'm of ALOT of use to this strange group we call "society"

Yet having Aspergers means there is "something wrong" with me?

Personally I don't see it as a very fair thing to say, that I'm wrong and that I have problems. I don't bicker over pointless things like most people do, I don't feel the need to have "status" and I don't think that relationships are necessary. How come society still acts as if there's something the matter with me? Have people taken a look in the mirror recently? At how bad popular music these days is, at how corporations are more or less controlling everything we do, and that we live in an ego dominated world set out for the alpha male and nobody else? They have the nerve to say I have the problem!

Is this how I'm supposed to feel? I have no idea.

We have certain inherent neurological differences. Due to this, we are mostly unable to conform to the expectations of a Neurotypical society, just like they would find it problematic to fit in in an Autistic society. Inabilities to conform to the culture of the majority is easily perceived as a deficit.

Status and "success" as often defined by the NTs and the society are but socially constructed illusions. The Neurotypicals tend to consider these a holy truth. Do not fall for it. Sustainable happiness comes from validating oneself and personal spiritual growth, not seeking validation from other people, comparing yourself to other people and attempting to constantly maintain an "upward" trajectory until the day you die.

I guess if those people are happy following those semi-tangibles, fine. Personally, I find it hard to not find that kind of people deficient whenever they confuse those values as an objective fact, and some of them would go as far as even kill themselves if they fail to conform to the expectations of "success" (a phenomenon which is probably most common in Japan).
