Having Asperger's Syndrome is not an excuse for being mean
Well, this is what I thought but my closest and longest has been aloof to his behavior that ridicules emotional expression or lesser intelligence even after it has been brought to his attention. His response is usually to be hurt that I have told him he has hurt my feelings.
Other than this he is a really nice guy but these two areas he absolutely crushes the love right out of me. I thought if I could get some responses from my initial question I could better determine if it was the AS or willfulness.
thanks for your insights, this is helpful.

Are you discussing a relationship with one person, or "acceptance" from an "Aspie-dominated community"? I honestly am having great difficulty following this thread.
I am intentionally generalizing to preserve the privacy of those I am in relationships with while still trying to have questions answered. forgive me if it is causing confusion.
In your OP, you indicated that your issue was with a "community", not one person. That is a material difference in your question.

I am in a community where Nt's are the minority and I hear those with Aspergers say they just want accepted as they are without judgement but at the same time there seems to be an incredible lack of acceptance without judgement for the different-ness of Nts by those with Aspergers.

from where I sit...all of them. In business or in the arts.FYI You all rule the world...there may be some nt puppet head doing the talking but some of us really know where the driving force behind that head is coming from. If Aspies went on strike the world itself would come to a screeching grinding halt.
And now, after 3 pages, this appears to be an issue with one person. I'm not sure how WP can help you with acceptance if there appears to be several different situations in your posts.
