Its not about us vs them. Its about how we integrate with them. We need to be able to integrate to some degree, and the vast majority of people in society tend to have a different way of life that makes it difficult to integrate invisible minorities, such as those with AS. If people are generalizing, they are meaning to address a specific, and are projecting that specific onto the general group based on induction. These generalizations are made to learn something that will help in the understanding of the portion of the group not being understood, and sometimes assumptions are innaccurately projected based on the knowledge of one being different from the masses, and assuming something that is present in someone closer to the mean of society but not present in oneself.
Sorry if that is wordy, but that is the only way I can explain it.
