Ive bumped into some articles in this place and as far as i know, im disappointed that people seem to be offended by NTs and i have no idea why?

The same thing I don't like about all people. Meaning, I take each individual individually.

Groups can be a bother, even if they're made up of some decent folk; they can fall back to the basic social hierarchy that's innate to them quickly, but I try to accept them for this, and that they can't change how they are in this regard, just as I can't change how I am.

I accept anybody as long as they are willing to fully accept me for who I am.

I would a hate a person for individual reasons, not as a group. I try to make friends with people but when they show no such sign of wanting to be my friend and just say nasty things to me then that is when I stop trying and develop an enemy.
Or when people are insensitive to others, example: I saw a car pull up to the side of the street, the guys in the car were staring at a guy that looked like he had passed out or was unconscious. The guys in the car laughed and pointed then drove off. I wanted to hurt those guys for being insensitive.

I mostly know NT's but if there was a 50/50 AS/NT population then I will probably not like some aspies in that group. I'm not a very people person. I try to be nice to people but if they annoy me or are mean then I've got no time for them.

I cannot make any kind of statement about any kind of people, because that is generalising and I do not like generalisation, because it thows away details and individuals and puts everything together in one category and the category is very vague and it applies a detail to an entire group which is kind of like stereotyping, the difference being that stereotypes are usually not based upon personal experience.
Personal experience is bad evidence.
The criteria I use to determine if I like a person or not is very specific and no one who is neurologically typical or not autistic does not meet those criteria for exactly those reasons.
But I am biased against people who want to integrate (socially, not mathematically) in society because I do not and it means little to me.

I don't see anything wrong with anyone and I accept anyone for who they are... Yet the only thing I do is hide that i'm autistic to people that nobody knows, its like for me having to wear a mask to hide my identity.

I wouldn't tell anyone that i'am unless I would trust the person because the one thing I don't like is the fact people treat me like if i'm a child, half the time people don't believe me because I certainly don't look it. :lol:

But I don't see what I don't like about them?

HOORAY for the majority of posters here for NOT turning this into yet another NT-bashing session! I'm really happy with how this website's tone has become overall more supportive and less hateful. Kudos to good moderators.

What I don't like about NTs -- is how people with AS bash them to feel better about themselves.

Hopefully this thread won't degenrate and/or it'll be locked before it gets bad.

Oh man I feel sorry for you. :( This is why I have resolved to take a totally pragmatic approach towards people because they so often mean one thing and say another.

Same, and quite frankly, I've learned a TON from some NTs. It doesn't mean I know what to do with the information I'm given when it comes to social stuff, but at least they don't expect it from me, they just kind of hope for it and watch to see what I do, lol. But they don't bash me or anything about it either. They keep trying, just as they will ask questions about me and let me go on and on and on, because they want to learn from me as I want to learn from them.

Well, quite a few I've met, I mean.

There are always those I wouldn't get along with, but that is in any group. I wouldn't be able to get along in a group of Aspies, I don't think-no offense meant, but I just don't think my interests would click with everyone else's, or I just wouldn't have enough comprehension to keep up with what was being talked about.

So it really doesn't matter who is around me.

There is absolutely NOTHING that I dislike about NTs. It's people in general I have issues with at times, and it doesn't matter which group they are in.
