Cure Neurotypicals?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, it makes just as much sense as curing Aspies, I guess. Hell, why not?

In fact, let's start an organisation called Neurotypicals Speak run entirely by Aspies and make like they all want to be cured! Then we'll get loads of money for our important research!

Yes, as if

I am a far more efficient organiser than most NTs I know.
NTs seem to be organising their own ineffeciencey without a second thought given to doing things right the first time.


A lot more would get done in a far more efficient manner.

This ^

While Aspies are alot more understanding, I wouldn't say that I get along with Aspies particularly more than NTs. Both 'groups' have their positives and negatives.

try giving this little message
if the majority of people had AS in the world then they would be the ones being picked on not us cuz we'd be the majority and since they would still be "different" from us we would want them to change. normalcy is a matter of circumstance, and we would want them to change to fit our way of doin stuff, so then ask yourself who would be the 1 who has a problem. think b4 you judge.

he'll get it in time but still be a dick right back see how he likes it. can't always be so nice

If folks cure common sense then atypical will no longer be a logical component of diversity yet simply comprise that of common sense again.

We should look into curing non-albinos next.

Are you speaking about character indirectly or strictly skin color?

Just giving my take on curing neurotypicals.

I'd find it insulting not to be considered normal and to dwell upon this arrangement a burden. If anything was ever overrated it's the idea of normal and typical. So superior those whom believe themselves normal enough to standardized a differentiation. Note I did say I think I am normal but I didn't say others were abnormal. I just think typical is either obsolete or non-existent.

'Typical' seems like a performance-based evaluation IMO; sometimes they're right about us, sometimes they're wrong. I think things are getting better though, in that people are really starting to evaluate their own functional fixedness on reality. I often think that the one of the greatest gifts outliers bring to society, aside from achievements in the arts and sciences, is their ability to make the broader public reflect back upon itself and its own fundamental assumptions - the net effect of which is more powerful than it may sound.

The autism specialist and Harvard PHD graduate the works with me has always been very accepting and never made me feel abnormal. In fact other then the entry level social service workers I don't find much indignity. I had one worker call me brain damaged for autism, he was yelled at by his boss. It's people that call stimming a stim like one behaviorist said to me that upset me most because it intruded my natural thinking. As if what I didn't even bother thinking of "rocking back and forth" was a bad thing. I just don't care and if what is my normal is abnormal to someone else and they take note and tell me about it to hell with it as well I'll find something wrong with them to and it all ends up mal-productive.

It's important I don't take these ideas of mine to seriously otherwise they become a distraction.
