OK, so I've noticed a lot of people here somehow think of "faking it" or "acting NT" as being malicious or otherwise "bad". The truth is, there's nothing wrong with how NTs act compared to us, they're only human, and so are we! Acting "NT" is just difficult for us because we're not wired for it. I mentioned earlier on that NT society "sucks", well it sucks for ME and other people who don't quite fit in, just because it's so hard to fit in. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just a pain in the ass to adapt to.
Generally, NTs aren't out to harm us, and in fact in a lot of cases they even want to help us. It can be hard for them to, because they have a hard time relating to our experiences, sort of the same way we may have trouble relating to theirs. Of course, by studying them we can better understand them, and by them studying us, they can better understand us.
Some NTs hate aspies, and even some aspies hate aspies. These people aren't the majority though, and most of the NTs that give us difficulties in our day to day lives do it because they simply don't understand. It can be hard to make them understand, because unlike being a limb amputee, ASD is an "invisible" condition, and "invisible" conditions tend to be much harder to explain. Some people are open to explanation, some aren't, but the ones who aren't are not usually trying to be malicious.
My point is, there's nothing wrong with how NTs are, and there's nothing wrong with trying to act like them either. What IS wrong is acting like a hateful SOB. Don't do that. People tend to hate it.

Well some, myself included, think there are things inherently wrong with society.
A lot of people are fake and full of sh**. I feel like that is wrong. I have to live among them, so for survival I must also be fake, and I hate that. So please speak for yourself.
Absolutely. Humanity is f****d up. I'm kind of weird because on the one hand, I believe that there are good people out there, but on the other hand, I also think of humanity as being a scourge on the planet. I'm a parasite, and I may as well try to get along with the other parasites.
