I know. But it's absolutely hilarious!

it is

This is so funny.

Technically, I think the organization name is Neurotypicals Can't Shut Up!

Yes I have.

You provoked a burst of laughter from this clueless NT, happily married to my beloved Aspie...

Neurotypical speaks, it's time to listen.

Although I usually have a good sense of humour, I still fail to see any humour in this "NT syndrome" thing. It's obvious that it was really written by an angry autistic who thinks that anything mentioned in their made-up list of "symptoms" are the complete opposite to autism, and for some reason I just find it annoying.

I suppose including "empathy addiction" in an "NT symptoms" list is another way of saying that all autistics totally lack empathy while all NTs are raging with empathy. It gets on my nerves.

I have learned through experience that when someone hurts your feelings and you make fun of them for it and their behavior that hurt you, they then play the victim and see you as the meanie and justify their actions towards you. Autistic people do this too so this is a human behavior, not part of any brain disorder or part of being an NT.

I know the "cure" for NTs and that's the MMR vaccination.

I suppose nobody will find that funny...

It took me several times reading this to get what was being said here, but I think I understand. I think you are upset because the OP called NTs "empathy addicted," and you believe that indirectly is calling autistic people "completely lacking empathy". I'm not so sure one can be inferred from the other, but that actually doesn't matter here. The point of the original post was not to make reasonable and accurate comparisons between NTs and people on the spectrum, but rather the opposite. It is making fun of rude ways people talk about autism by replacing "autism" with "neurotypicality" (if that is a word). It's kind of like the concept of a literary foil:



In this case, the foil is an AS person preaching about how to cure NTs with offensive suggestions. It draws attention to the character of the NT that is obsessed with finding a cure for ASD while typically disregarding the feelings of people on the spectrum.

It's both making fun of neurotypicals-----and making fun of people who make fun of neurotypicals.

It's really just in good fun.

Don't forget to include the opposite of "quiet hands" as part of your treatments. If your NT child isn't fidgeting you should drop what the both of you are doing and remind them to do so, as that isn't distracting and counterproductive at all. Also force some stim toys into their hands and make them play with them, like NT people make autistic kids sit on their hands.

I forgot to add, if they are making eye contact you should correct them and tell them that they aren't listening to the content of what you're saying and are just getting distracted by your face, which is rude, and you should direct their gaze to the ground. Every time they make eye contact remind them how rude they are being.

hahahaha

It absolutely is.
