Is a part of it perhaps due to a subtle, undiagnosed processing difficulty of some sort, for example, undiagnosed face blindness? Or undiagnosed central auditory processing disorder (CAPD)? Something like that? Other?

There's only one reason, mob mentality.

Mob mentality. Also, the frustration factor, when an NT insists upon communicating in code and mime, which Aspies cannot decipher.

The nice NTs I like, it is only the mean ones
I don't like, but the same goes with ATs
also so I guess it does not make much diff to me,
mean is mean and nice is nice, if someone is mean
UI am going to have a reaction on them they
might not like, aut or nt.

I actually have nothing against non-autistics, I actually find that I actually learn alot from them and they learn alot from me, even though I have had bad experiences in the past, but I won't let that experience affect me from how I see people.

I would of imagined they hate them because of the past experience they had probably, its always a reason for everything/

I don't have anything against NTs, or anyone for that matter, as long as they're decent people.

I agree with both of you.

And I definitely dislike some people who have a disability (mental or physical) because they are no decent people while I've been "friend" with people who were perfectly normal.

I actually enjoy observing people and trying to understand the human behaviour so NTs are definetely "nice people" when it comes to that. Anyone who is socially impaired, be them autistic or not, is less interesting since they can't teach me much about how social relationship work, though they can teach me about myself and how social relationship between socially inadpated people work.

You can't judge someone by looking at them or knowing their mental health.

It probably has a lot to do with past experience. I like many individual NTs but am mistrustful of them in groups. Mob mentality takes over so easily, but then that may be true for us, too.

Neurotypical is an adjective, not a noun. You show me an individual who is completely neurotypical and I'll show you an android.

It is not that I dislike them. I don't like not fitting in with most people. It is an autistic thing...

It's not neurotypical people that I don't like, it's people who don't like ME that I don't like.

Bad experiences with 99,99 % of them.

Conformity, emotional "reasoning", adherence to mindless, silly customs and rituals and bullying all those that think them being pointless, social brainwashing, etc etc among many other reasons.
