The things NT believe about us

stranger

I feel like banging my head against a brick wall.

Over the weekend, I have discovered that NTs believe the following things about us:

- we can't get married and form serious relationships. Those who do, were wrongly diagnosed

- we're all good at maths. Apparently, if someone has a maths degree, that automatically means they're on the spectrum. I can think of at least one NT with a degree in maths and computing science. (to my knowledge he's NT and he doesn't seem like an Aspie in anyway)

Anyone know where these bizzare myths come from? I was told I have no idea what I was talking about when I said we could have meaningful relationships. When I asked for their evidence, they couldn't provide any.

  • I'm not too worried about lay perception, NT conversation seems to have an apttitude for false trails and misinformation.

    What worries me is the rubbish coming out of the medical and health professions, doctors, dentists, nurses, hospital support staff etc etc.

    You appear to have eye contact so you cannot be on the spectrum

    You are married/have a job/ drive a car etc so you cannot be on the spectrum

    You sound quite intelligent actually.........

    You managed to get to the appointment OK....

    Don't you have a support worker with you, oughtn't I to be speaking to them....

    There's certainly no use for the amount of patent ignorance from the medical profession.
