Are we Nature's Backstop?

Plastic

The older I get, the more auties and aspies I find - the lucky ones ended up in their niche profession where they excel and create incredible things.   Throughout history, almost all breakthroughs can be attributed to someone who is clearly one of us and very much on the spectrum.

As NTs are all about social bickering and status, are they designed as nature's minions? - worker drones - cranking the handles of life (badly) and fighting amongst themselves while we quietly design the next major leap forwards in technology or war-winning invention to save their lives.    

It seems that whenever the faecal matter hits the air-circulation device, the NTs rely on our ingenuity to dig them out of whatever hole they have made for themselves.

So why do they treat us so badly?

    Nope, but they haven't figured out how to evolve beyond that Grinning

    My guess is.... Ignorance, fear of the unusual or the different and that evolutionary need to group together with people who are like them (i.e. sharing in all that social bickering and status nonsense). Plus there is that thing of some things in modern life being taken for granted without really appreciating who it was that created it. Although, to be fair, I'm guilty of that last one too.
