define average.  and where are you getting this information from?  i can't find a wiki entry for "employment/social status of neurotypicals", myself.

By average I would say roughly normal in terms on intellect, aspirations and so on. As for my information, I got it from talking to lots of people who fit that over the years, although in certain cases their intellect is beyond average by quite a bit.

define "normal", and can you be more specific quantitatively about "lots".

Lots would a few hundred. Normal is expectations in line with the general population.

also some comparative data regarding their difference from ASD folk in this regard.

Given the amount of undiagnosed adult aspies, you know thats impossible to do.

I sense pwnage imminent.

what general population?  ages?  educational level?  culture?

see hadron, the point is you're still making sweeping statements about things you know little - if anything - about.  have you not listened to anything anyone's said to you about that?  and, more to the point, aren't you tired of being pwned all over the place, by just about everyone who challenges you, in the same way (i.e., by people actually asking for specifics rather than dismissive and unfounded generalities)?

Q.E.D., i'd say.

I was giving anecdotal evidence, which is the only evidence that can be provided in this case. As for being pwned, surprisingly i couldnt care too much. Do I really need to justify everything I say on here, you could ask those questions of most posts and I doubt in a lot of cases that people could back everything up with statisitics.

*Senses a pattern*

People are starting to just pick on Hadron just because it's easy. He could just as easily have tacked on a "from what I've noticed" and no one would have contradicted him, at least not like that.

Awww.

not really, no, to be honest.  i just can't stand the unbelievable hubris, which is based on nothing but unjustifed (or badly-justified) opinion (or wiki ).  ignorance like this leads to bigotry.

yes.  it's what I2 is about, for one thing, and you insist on telling others about things they already know, and have years of experience of, which is why you're challenged so often.
