I don't mind raccoons--but I like petting little kitty cats better.

It's not so much about "faking NT" as it is that the NT social world is just built on fakery and illusions and BS to begin with.


I can really relate to this view.

Well I think it is most likely due to the fact that you have comorbid disorders along with your Asperger's,

I can not say I fake NT's. I just want to survive in this messed up world we live in. If I could, I would live on my own island with out all the BS.

I have an idea. Why don't all people with Asperger's develop there very own community. Not a virtual one a real one. Each country could have there very own Aspieville. I would organize it but I do not have very good executive functioning.

As individuals, Aspies are part of the 'social world' as much as NTs are. It's as if this forum believes that NTs are not forced to 'fake it', and intentionally behave maliciously all the time.

A world full of autistics would still involve heavy amounts of bullying and BS. The evidence is commonplace, but it's selectively ignored. People with lower functioning autism have posted how they have experienced things like bullying at the hands of the higher functioning.

Higher functionings emulate the NTs better.
In a different environment they would not act out those behaviors but for rare exceptions.

NTs are already faking it via several layers of packaging. To them, faking it just means adding one more layer over what they would have normally done.

That is only how you perceive the world, but you haven't provided any factual basis as to why one should believe that and/or see it that way.

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'different environment', but what purpose would it serve for an NT to act out such behaviours in the very same environments?

The AS bullies do not bully because they are emulating NTs, but because that's their nature.

Acting works well when around NT people. I think most people act to be liked more by other people. It's not that autistic people do it more often, everybody fakes it sometimes (that sounded weird :oops: ).

Faking it is exhausting. I have to fake it at work to a certain extent.

NT mode:

1. Ignore my fear of opening doors. Open door.
2. Try to ignore everyone looking at me/fluorescent lights/posters/disinfectant smell/vibration through the floor/things not in their right place/loud conversations/ phone ringing (in effect, the whole environment)
3. Ignore any difficulties speaking to people and say, "Good morning. How are you?" (Which to me is just stupid)
4. Sit through meetings with people looking at me/fluorescent lights etc (see number two) while secretly freaking out that someone might actually ask me a question and expect me to speak.
5. Ignore my fear of interacting with people and try to interact with people.

ASD mode:

1. Don't ignore my fear of opening doors. Don't open door. Problem solved.

Which is easier I ask you?

I copied my regular peers when I was in elementary and high school, because I didn't want people to suspect that there was something wrong with me. I was trying not to get picked on, so I tried my best to hide any of my faults. I've also tried to hide my accent when I was between the ages 16 and 19 with no results. I stopped doing that when I was 19. I also faked feminine and hippie to get my bullies off my back in Grades 11 and 12.
