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?

    good one haha.

    I think society moves forward best when there's a diverse mix of people, ie different cultures, different neurotypes etc. But people are naturally wary of what they don't understand, so they can be wary of people with AS. That can lead to victimisation especially if said AS person is more vulnerable. NTs may also be jealous of the skills of AS people. In some cases then AS people can be hard to work with because they may be reluctant to share ideas or there might be communication problems (both ways) so this can also lead to either person feeling mistreated even if that wasn't originally intended.
