lolololol NTs

[Mr Smith]

I personally don't like the way its treated like a disease..

Agreed, but that's "normal" people for you. Anything different is wrong.

I have met some "normal" "NTs" who have open minds and don't discriminate. Some of those people are in my family. I don't like "NTs" being lumped together as a horrible group of people.

I don't hate them because they're NTs.

I hate them because theyr'e stupid nit picking, pedantic gits.

When you're on generic forums, you're better of not discussing anything at all regarding autism. Their ignorance is just going to piss you off in the end.

Certain individuals seem to think that their opinions are more better than others, I'm afraid.

While I'm not in any way defending that guy, you cannot blame some NTs for being ignorant.  A good number of them has probably never encountered an autistic person in their life, and if they DID, most would probably not even realise.  The closest some get to an autistic is Forrest Gump.  They base their opinion on what they know and what is familiar to them As I said, you can't expect them to know what you all feel and calling them stupid NTs just because they don't understand you and likewise, doesn't make them understand any better.

Saying all that, some of them WERE stupid pricks 

I'm not blaming people for their ignorance (hell, I can be ignorant too ), nor do I have a grudge against NTs (I hate these distinctions). I agree with you wholeheartedly on the bit where you say that not everyone you encounter is going to be open-minded.

It's just that I've seen this pattern on forums before. Whenever somebody confesses their disability or condition in public, people tend to act like they're in the know after reading some shit from wikipedia for 5-10 mins.

To some, sources such as Wikipedia are the only things available on the subject   By reading an article or two, people think that they know everything that needs to be known.  You just have to prove them otherwise   They haven't got the experience, you do, so use it

Don't most people think their opinions are better than others?   

[Calandale]

But, some people's opinions ARE better than others.

But, some people's opinions ARE better than others.

Whose opinion do we go by to determine that?

(I wonder who will reply to this first to say their it's their opinion that determines what opinions are correct?)

[Calandale]

Well, each person has to decide this
themselves, obviously. But everyone
does so.

[GalileoAce]

Opinions are often irrelevant.
