It seems to me as if they have some kind of mental illness.

i always it was because of their awkward hormonal ways and the need to impress girls and their peers. :hmph: could be wrong.

You might need to be more specific.

You ARE wrong! I wish I knew the answer. Girls aren't immune though. THAT is becoming more and more obvious.

I think all adolescent boys can act stupid - thankfully, most of them grow out of it and turn out fine.

Unfortunately, I'm related to one who probably WON'T grow out of it

because they know that when people say "boys will be boys" they can get away with just about anything with minor punishment and the media reinforces that they should act that way

Likewise. It's not limited to ones with or without certain conditions. And, it's not limited to boys either. Adolescence has a way of doing weird things to nearly everyone.

Hormones are weird things. I hit adolescence at the exact same time my mom hit (artificial) menopause. That was... interesting, but not the kind of interesting I'd care to repeat.

I think both genders act retardedly, just in different ways.

And also in both cases, these are steriotypes.

Because they're adolescents. It's legal obligation as a teenage boy to act like a dick. Hell, that's half of the fun of growing up!

Me too.

I moved away from his excessive immaturity. Although I recently learned that he is spying on me through this forum. He continues to find ever more ways to be an annoying and highly ignorant NT.

Narcissism?
Nah just kidding... still though. :scratch:

Same with adolescent girls too though... some of them are really nasty.

And yet - for every nasty piece of work there are also very nice people.
Shame about some of the population though.

I'm glad I'm no longer in education.

Not that I know any aspie guys personally, but why is this only about NT teenagers? Were aspies the last in line when God was handing out the jerkitude?
