I have been thinking about Asperger's syndrome vis-à-vis NeuroTypicality as like a certain technology; perhaps we're the upgrade.

We are the DVDs to the VHS of the NTs. We contain more information, are more reliable (Our quality doesn't lower in time) and we aren't square :lol:

How profound when you say "perhaps" we're the upgrade. Cool!

I must think so to make myself feel better.

Avoid depression! What a GREAT way! "Perhaps", hm do I use this in my everyday language talking to people?

Perhaps we're the cripple impaired. Ah depression begins to seep in so STOP STOP!! ! we're the UPGRADE!! !! !! !! !! ! yes!

I am merely remarking upon the fact that aspies have a better memory and tend to think less "In the box" then NTs do. the part about out quality not going down with time is merely a referance to the fact that NTs tend to forget to play when they grow up, something we aspies are better at avoiding.

I am not trying to bash NTs, I like NTs :D

DVD as to VHS, because we find new ways to do things, where as NTs like to do things, the old fashioned way. There isn't anything wrong with that, as both complement each other.

To be honest, I really don't understand the options given, but from an NT persective, I say:

DVD to Tivo

The latter is more precise and meticulous, but hard to figure out..

In the poll choices, DVD is supposed to represent the NTs (since it is currently prevalent); the item on the right is supposed to be what we aspies might be.

Another one of Strapples' sockpuppets, I see. You really do have too much time on your hands.

Frields, there's a "Self-Hating-Autistic" thread, in the Jerk-Off Forum. Please post your modest turds of wisdom in the appropriate place. Thank You.

Stick man argument topic

I used to like the llittle stick man movies I doodled with as a child, but now I see the humor in this analogy.

Good one. I voted for the stick figures.

Oh bugger, I did it all backwards then :( in that case we are the HD DVDs to their DVDs. Because all sensations are amplified for us.

Bottom line: We are WAY cooler than NTs.

I said Blu-Ray, because isn't that the coming technology that will replace HD DVD?
