The NT Perspective

Post Reply New Topic

Here's something, do you think you do the same thing to all people that is out there, that they is a approach that works the same way as it would for another. How about treating that person as an individual, not all As people are the same, the answer is just as wide as any other thing...

Take that person as an individual because not all As people are the same... They is no easy answer because what work's for one doesn't work for another, what one find's hard another does not, the fact is treating it that way mean's the person has to defend itself, rather than having a none conflicting conversation, where it starts off with defending what a person can & can't do...

Start's to make you wonder if this is a reason behind As people not getting Nt's, if Nts can't get As people then how come we are the only one's said that we cannot understand other minds, I can understand just the fact I am not like that, like the saying goes it takes 2 to negotiate & it is pointless if only 1 is negotiating...

So asking advice from how to talk to an As person would be the same as most males asking 1 female how to talk to a female... What work's for one does not work for another...

Talk to them like you would with anybody, engaging them in a normal conversation. However, you'll need to verbalize a lot of emotions, and explain a lot of jokes. Also, some aspies don't like it when people who don't have AS use the word "aspie" to refer to them (think of the N-word analogy). Medical-sounding terms such as "has Asperger's" (the word syndrome is dropped, due to its negative connotation), are generally acceptable. Don't worry about making the conversation too intelligent, since most aspies actually prefer it that way.

I don't see the term Aspie as similar to the N-Word. The N-Word is without a doubt offensive, despite who says it. Aspie is a cute term for Asperger's Syndrome, and I really like cute. I see no problem with someone calling me Aspie. It's better than "freak" or "ret*d".
