Why do people without autism exclude people?

NAS61659

Why do people without autism exclude people on the spectrum? has anyone read a book or found any information about it? For example I understandard that they leave people out because they think that an autistic person is different to them and ignorance what are the other reasons for leaving them out? How can I find a way for them to accept me? 

  • I would assume it's been bred into the majority of the species.

    Imagine the in out group dynamics in hunter gatherer times. The out group at that point would have been absolutely competitor's for the same resources, plus, likely potentially very violent. Survival, on the gene level likely meant "be hostile and wary of outsiders". Its also true, than safety lies within the group, so to be ostracised was literally death. No surprise to see these defining nt traits.

    Be an outsider at your peril. (I'm feeling particularly outsiderish today unfortunately). 

    It wouldn't be so bad if it were done to your face, but it's done silently, passive aggressively, and you only get a vague sense something is wrong and you are excluded, when it's too late. /vent.

  • Because of ASD I have disordered perception.  I perceive as I am not as It is. 

  • They say don't they that humans are genetically 90% chimpanzee. I think.its probably an ape thing. Creating a pecking order of who is dominant who isn't, then who is, one of us, and who isn't. When two people get together they can feel more solidarity by badmouthing someone else.

    But maybe I'm getting cynical. 

  • Not many Neurotypical people like people like others who are outside the “norm” like autistic people. That’s why I prefer to talk to people with neurological conditions like me.
