I can't tell you why people with Aspergers think NT's are evil, but ...
I can tell you why sometimes autistics like me look at them and think, "Good god you pathetic third-class samples of humanity ..."
On a hobby forum today:
A member says:
He has a model steam locomotive which has:
two parts he does not know what they represent
the parts are pipes hanging down from back corners of cab
what do they do/what are they
The member provides:
1. Model company who made the model
2. Name of product series the model is in
3. Name of real railroad company who used the real one
4. The wheel arrangement of the real one
5. The class designation the real railroad gave the real one
The member gets:
3 replies in the flavor of, "Since you didn't provide a picture we have no idea what you are talking about and therefore we cannot help you."
WHAT????? If you are posting on a hobby forum on the internet you are by definition on the internet, right?
The internet has search engines, right?
You can put words in the search box and the search engine will find things based on those words, right?
So ...
While the apparent NT's are being stupid or lazy or both,
I go look up images of the model in question,
Then come back with several photos of the real locomotive and say,
"These are 2 possibilities what those pipes are: and if you play "follow the plumbing" with this image from this angle, the pipes in question are part of the feedwater and feedwater system".
and I think that while I was doing that there was another, "you didn't spoon feed us a picture, we can't tell what you are talking about" response.
