lets laugh at Nt's

openheart

Lets laugh at Nt's, people with Autism are socially blind ? Are they I see more that most Nt people, okay I miss the, they are going kill you bit if you don't shut your mouth. But overall I can (if given time) work out there patterns and behaviours.

So what makes you laugh at nts ? (Not to say that autism people do not have these behaviours).

  • How they follow sporting teams and take the game so serious.
  • Drinking, smoking and illegal drugs, why take poisons ! and even pay for them ?
  • How they think TV is real life, especially soap characters
  • Territorial
  • Can't remember what they said previously
  • Titles and positions, authority, badges,, especially badges
  • Collective believing
  • Materialism
  • They actually believe in society and think it is good overall

    A significant number of people on the autistic spectrum become alcoholics, indeed there is now a process whereby that cause is considered in treating alcoholics. See Tinsley, M & Hendrickx 2008 "Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol - Drinking to Cope" (Jessica Kingsley Pubs) if you don't believe me.

    Its the same with drugs, I didn't believe this when I first heard this about two months ago, but its true.

    Talking about things incessantly, and being obsessed by things is surely an aspie habit. The fact that NTs obsess about the same things, like sport, and we obsess about widely varied and narrow interests isn't in my view a great distinction.

    They think TV is real life? I've met a fair few people who think Data off Star Treck is a real lifestyle model. Asperger logic in no way whatever what is played out by the actor of Mr Data, or any Vulcans, least of all Mr Spock. As to the prevalence of people on the spectrum amongst Trekkies....well nuff said

    Not being able to remember what they said previously is a blessing. They don't over process the issues involved in social interaction. Its just a process and they forget it quickly. A large part of our daily problem is that the experience of social interaction causes questions and puzzles that continue to go round in our heads, for days, weeks, even years. I cannot see the advantage in that frankly.

    The society bits - I'm sorry to break it to you but we're the losers in that one.

    All very well this "we think differently" are "differently wired" is a sop to cheer as up, not a reality. The way we process information is a living hell, not something to be idealised. 

    Sorry to be so negative, but some realities need to be faced up to.
