When I found out I was Aspie", after reading all about the difficulties we have, I wondered what difficulties neurotypical people experience. As an avid observer of human behaviour for decades, with an interest in sociology and politics, I knew life wasn't all plain sailing for them. I saw evidence of conflict, abuse, insecurity, relationship breakdown, destructive jealousy and ruthless competition. I read the book "A Field guide to Earthlings" and gained more information about their neurological and social development .
I wonder if any psychologist has studied neurotypical development and behaviour in terms of social deficits? I don't mean mental health conditions like schizophrenia, sociopathology, etc. I mean in the way Autism is studied, applying the same sets of behaviour to a huge group of people with a diverse set of traits and personalities, lumping them together with the same description and classifying their behaviours as "defecits" or "difficulties".
I'm not anti-NT. I get on well with colleagues who are not autistic and I sometimes rely on one or two trusted individuals to confirm if my ideas about what other NTs may be thinking of feeling are correct, to prevent misunderstanding. But what if the world were mainly Autistic? What if only 1% of people were neurotypical? (The world would probably be much quieter 
for one thing, but anyway...) Here are some extracts from an article taking a wry look at how "neurotypical syndrome" might be described if most people were autistic...
DSM-IV code 301.27: Neurotypical Personality Disorder
Diagnostic criteria and Symptoms
* Blindly follows social conventions without even pondering if those are good for their being or even useful at all. This is the most determinant factor for diagnosis.
* Can’t be alone for a period of one hour or more without feeling depressed or bored, for this reason needs constant communication with their fellow individuals. This strong need has carried to the invention of phenomenons such as cellphones and Facebook.
* Needs to attend to social gatherings on discrete periods of time to reinforce the need of belonging to a group. The elapsed time between gatherings differ between individuals, ranging from one hour to one week, at most. The most common form of these gathering is the so called “party”, although is documented that others exist. May this individual be shunned from his/her group for any cause (for example, not dressing the appropriate manner) they may suffer from, but not limited to: severe depression, irritability and/or substance abuse.
* Is prone to unnecessary small talk. Some of those talks may appear suddenly and/or randomly.
* Suffers from ranging levels of Hypocrisy, a concomitant disorder that makes the individual do fake smiles, lie and/or cheat on a constant basis and try to get above other on their imaginary “social ladder”
* The mentioned “social ladder”, a delusion that some individuals have power over others based on amount of money, clothing, skin color or other perceived factors.
* Gets heavily exited over trivial things like World Football Cups, religious gatherings or the sight of another neurotypical individual they consider “charismatic”, like a singer or actor.
* Have a constant and inexorable drive to fulfil their needs and obtain pleasure in fields like travel, multiple sexual partners, heavy drinking and other auto-destruction activities.
* Suffers from a delusion that all of the above alarming symptoms are "normal" and that any other individual that does not present them is mentally ill, unstable or suffer from a disorder and needs medication and therapy ASAP.
This is a spoof description of neurotypicality (my spell checker just tried to change neurotypicality to "superficiality" !!??) and is meant to be light hearted, not condemning. I posted it to give food for thought to those Aspies/Auties who are struggling with their " condition" and feeling that they are defined by these "difficulties" in Autism diagnosis and possibly that they are " abnormal ", or there is something wrong with them that they need to change. Reading about the double empathy problem has helped me understand what I had guessed at - NTs have just as much trouble "reading " & understanding us as we do them.
