Are we Nature's Backstop?

Plastic said:

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?

Because we are less prone to conforming to what can either be more technically referred to as ‘adulteration abuse’, or in less inflammatory terms ‘normalised abuse’ ~ which can be better contextualised with 'Stockholm Syndrome', where hostages adopt the morals and ethics of those who use them as disposable units of economical / political potential.

The threat of death in society causing Stockholm Syndrome involves anything or everything from international war and worldwide destruction, to exposure and malnutrition in private at home or in public on the streets.

I think you're onto something tjere about Stockholm syndrome. Is 'adulteration abuse' a concept you've read about? Is there a key source to read? Or something you've coined?

When I first started studying psychology back in 1989, I did inquire about using it to describe adults forcing children to behave like adults rather than actually maturing as children, but got informed that it was too specific and challenging a definition to be used in general discussion and publication, and it was better to use ‘normalised abuse’ as it is a much more inclusive and amenable nomenclature for the uninformed.

I was though neither the first nor the last person to have brought up the topic of ‘adulteration abuse’, and it has been included by others besides myself in quite a few discussions since the eighties.

In terms of key sources of reading, consider perhaps:

Parentification

7 Types of Parental Abuse.

The ‘adulteration’ of adolescence?: Balancing the rights of adolescents to autonomy and protection in the UK – Part 1
