Not really. Everybody else but me on this planet is crazy and alien to me with varying degrees, and I'm the only person that always makes sense to me. Autistic people generally do not score higher on my normality rate than non-autistic people, because they also have this extreme diversity on who and how they are.

Yes, I find NTs weird, but I also find other autistics weird.

I find aspies and nt's equally weird, people regardless of their condition, are going to have their little quirks.

I find any given person weird up to the point where I can figure them out, analyze them and know why they do things, and do them in a certain way. Therefore it has little to do with neurotype, and more to do with the fact that I am not confused or alienated by people who are introspective and able to explain or otherwise make their actions comprehensible to me.

Of course, most people are not weird in my eyes until they do something, or say they did or would do something, that I would never do, or at least am unlikely to, or otherwise find incomprehensible without explanation. In fact, until they mention or indicate otherwise, I have a hard time remembering that they are not like me, even though it's incredibly unlikely that they would be in certain ways.

I just find it weird how they think their way is the only right way to do anything.
