Just popping back in,
Hi,
Have been having a long think..... i find that people get upset and segregated by this term...Neurotypicals. But i was wondering is there such a thing as a neurotypical?
People i would deam as a neurotypical, i find tend to be irrational optimists, even irritating optimists and just have cognitive empathy, and persue hobbies or being sociable to an obsession, and when they do socialise, they just play the game of public self and asking how other people are, so they don't have to talk about themselves- so how are people i would have deemd an NT, an NT at all, if they display the above?
Other people without aspergers can be anorexic, be worriers, anxious, have mental health probs, be controlling, stuffy, grieving, stressed, the list is endless of the different problems, people without aspergers can have, so how is that Neurotypical?
I also get offended by people labling us as an Aspie. And get very offended by people obsessing about our lack of communication skills, when 3/4 of the world,whom don't have aspergers, have communication probs too.
Empathy- if people have personal problems/relationship problems/ housing and social problems-the last thing in the world they feel like doing, is being empathetic. And if somebody is causing problems, then the person on the recieving end isn't going to be feeling empathetic. So why are we being picked on for not being empathetic, when it may just depend on what problems we are in the middle of? Also, i've discovered that not everybody in the world, is actually a people person anyway, so why do we get picked on for not always being people people?
