People try so hard to understand ASD. And this had led to a lot of misconceptions, including the vaccine myth, the idea that we don't feel things, and the stigma itself. I know that they just want to understand, and "get it". But to me, there isn't much to understand. I have explained in detail the way I see the world. But to me that's normal. So why do NTs, because their world is typical them (again, as mine is to me) get to decide the official definition of normal?
My vote counts, and I don't see what the big mystery is. I'm different than other 21 year olds. I don't understand them any more than they understand me. But I don't waste my time coming up with theories to figure it out. That's their life. I just live mine the way I know how to, and I never want that to change.
What If they have it backwards? What if I'm normal, and NTs have the disorder?
