the other thing is schools should have relationship classes to teach NTs how to deal with AS people.

It shouldnt be totally one sided where we have to do all the work to understand them, but they can still just treat us like s**t anyway. why is that fair?

You probably took a lost turn w/ that word "give."

I have had it with fitting in. Let's start our own planet..


Absolutely; I'm booking passage on the next starship to fly past here and getting a lift to some other nice, warm, inhabitable M-class planet. Anyone who feels like joining can help me name it when we get there :)

The majority rules.


Fnord, I do not follow your train of thought. Again, you're giving a "Because I said so" and one-liner as an answer. This does not wash with me and others and says nothing. Your answer does not really answer the question. My gut reaction says it is an evasive answer and you're dodging the question at hand. I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I don't know you nor understand you. Can you explain your thought process, your beliefs, and your personality type to me? It would give context to your answers.

Correct me if I am wrong Jerry but I believe what you are asking, jerry, is what is the thought process of society and their demands? Why do they do what they do and why do they believe what they believe? How do they come to their beliefs? Why are their beliefs the way to go? Either way, these are my questions jerry.
