I like to believe this comes from the same universe where you'd find an article titled "Extroverted? Here's 5 Easy Ways To Become More Quiet and Introspective".
@@whotelakecity2001 I think some guy wrote a song about that... 😄 I've often thought the world would be more peaceful and the environment thrive if every human had Aspergers.
First of all, you aren’t cool or edgy. Second of all, normal non autistic people are the people who built this world so you’re gonna have to accept that they are different from you. Third of all, you’re a protected class that’s protected by the very people you wish you could exterminate. Fourth of all, there would be hierarchy and war even if the the population was 100% Asperger’s ridden because hierarchy is natural and given your collective fragility and egos nobody could stand having someone oppose them. Fifth of all, you aren’t a gift from god. You’re human and you’re just as bad as and probably worse than the society you so passionately hate.
@whotelakecity2001 that's the sad part about all of this; they have lost the ability to imagine anything different than death & destruction. Such that they'll defend the choice to embark upon the path towards extinction & create social penalties for associating with those of us who see through the facade. They'll deny it, but they secretly want us all to die, so they won't have to admit the world is unsustainably managed by the worst among us; because humanity unconsciously built a pyramid of people. Beware the climbers, you're just the next rung in the ladder.
Another trait I’ve noticed when working with Naspies is that if they communicate inaccurate information and you attempt to help them by providing the correct information, instead of thanking you, they react as if you are attacking them somehow (likely related to their status seeking behavior among their cliques). I have attempted to mitigate this behavior in Naspies by citing expert unbiased sources for the accurate information I provide. But, this seems to have the opposite effect from the one expected. You will no doubt be shocked to hear what a trusted Naspie friend told me when asked about this behavior. He said he’d rather be wrong than be corrected. Naspie’s behavior matches his insight. But, it seems inconceivable. I have a long way to go in interacting successfully with Naspies exhibiting such irrational behavior.
Honestly, taking into account how 99.99% of my problems were created, enabled, continued and blamed on my by NTs, I think maybe they should be the one being treated for abnormal and damaging behavior.
do you give your NT pet a chew toy? 👀 My NTs are constantly chewing at their leads, I thought I'd get them chew toys, but they keep trying to chew their leads instead.
@@WhoThisMonkey if you mean my cat... Don't worry she's a totally healthy fellow neurodivergent and finds things to chew on all over the house. If you mean my friend, I do indeed know several unspecial needs people who all don't seem to enjoy chewing for some reason... I try to understand them but their unique way to view the world and to cope is sometimes... let's say challenging for me
Hahaha, there’s nobody other than philosophers and autistic people to point those out! Not to say some things autistic people do can sometimes overlook their own double standards haha 😁
@@ThomasHenley ND people are pretty much always made people's scapegoats, but there's scapegoats on the stereotypical side as well. Not that many. It's usually the "different", like the chronically ill, disabled, LGBTQIA, the poor, etc. NTs tend to be schemers and get intimidated by highly logical NDs because they don't want to be called out on their BS.
To add to that, always remember: NEUROTYPICALITY IS *_NOT_* A DEATH SENTENCE!!! While a neurotypical is unlikely to become one of the best scientists or entrepreneurs, this does not mean they have nothing of value to add. In fact, as long as you as you make sure to provide them with plenty of validation, you will see they can actually be very nice and might even offer to help you out with practical matters. As for the extraverted subtype, I strongly believe it is our duty to provide accommodations so that they, too, can contribute and be productive. While unable to simply focus on the actual work itself for the entire day (studies confirm this), as long as you provide them with places where they can go to in a “natural, spontaneous” way to “socialise” many times during the day, you will find they actually are able to also get some work done. I believe governments should be open to subsidising companies who are willing to invest in these people. We really do need everyone!
This was great! 😂 I don't have autism or aspergers, but have ADHD and high IQ, and I find so-called normal people maddeningly frustrating, because I notice all their nonverbal and emotional signals, and they are constantly contradicting how they feel or act with their words, or they're literally saying something illogical that is totally different from what they really mean. They worship unhealthy behaviours like being able to do things you find mindnumbingly boring, being a neurotic perfectionist, tolerating all kinds of noise, disturbance and constant unexpected changes, or doing things at a stressful and unhealthy tempo. What would be good for aspies or people with adhd would probably also be healthy for them, it's just even more ridiculous and unhealthy for us.
You could even go to college I work with special needs . I know person with adhd who did both ! So go for whatever you want your in the best situation possible !
Thank you for those words! ❤ I actually did go to college and finished it, and it's a blessing and a curse, because all the deadlines, planning, requirement to also pass exams on the not so exciting subjects, etc were a real struggle. After, I spent years doing a job that only a neurotypical person could enjoy (and even they also got stress), that made me burn out with stress and depression. After getting diagnosed as an adult, I've finally done research and found a job that fits my brain and its strengths better. Still hard to work full time, though.
It is sad the way this disease robs it's victims of their individuality and ability to experience empathy, on top of the severe cognitive deficits that alerted the world to this condition to begin with. It is remarkable that so many of them are able to live what at least appears to be a relatively normal life, but even in these situations, a closer examination reveals that their dysfunction has major negative impacts, especially in close relationships with normal people.
Language difficulties are across the board. For example, many of them have a fascinating ability to be exposed to a language on a daily basis and utterly fail to pick it up.... at all! It's mind-boggling.
Then my father definitely isn’t nerotypical because he’ll yell at me to stop playing NAASCAAR lol 😂 then say fine whatever . Or he’ll hold onto grudges or hate change .
As someone who doesn't suffer from neurotypical syndrome, I found this to be most informative. Awareness of N.T.S. is starting to spread here in ADHD World as well. In all seriousness, this was quite refreshing. Thank you.
Ohhhhhmygoodness that BPD part hit! I, myself, got hit with that diagnosis once. A few other women I know on the spectrum were labeled as borderline before finding out they simply take in the world in a different manner. Thank you for that!
If we were the majority there wouldn't be a 'neurotypical'. They'd be the neuro-convergent, the cognitively limited, shallow headed (through their lack of ability to develop intense specialist interests in anything and pathological bias towards maintaining a social facade over meaningful connections with others), etc. :)
Some of you people are so reprehensibly resentful and arrogant. The irony of yours and others comments is that you fail to recognise and or/grasp the experiences of NT's as badly as they fail with ours. @@markwright3161
@@markwright3161there'd be more room for individual variation bit there would still be a divergent end in autistic majority world. Anyone non-autistic/allistic or that aren't ONLY autistic would be divergent and disabled to some extent. Allistic would be limited in passion based world and maybe struggle with the possible sensory deprivation of an autistic centered design, dampened senses and all that. They could still do things because they have to, but they might not perform those careers or work with the same care or skill as someone who isn't allistic. They'd also need special education since their brains actually cut out any unused connections, so they need to use any skills they have consistently or risk losing them. If raised a certain way they could be made to more closely resemble autistic majority though it would be imperfect and they would still be disabled. Adhd would work fine with passion based work, but couldn't form a static career or role and again would struggle with possible sensory deprivation or very unchanging environments, allistic adhd would have these disabilities but worse Schizophrenia wouldn't have a hard time with the sensory deprivation but will still be disabled by delusions and hallucinations. Executive dysfunction would be an issue for allistic schizophrenics because they wouldn't have much ability with the interest based work layout. Bipolar would have a similar type of disability as adhd when hypomanic, depressive is just disabled, and a little bit like schizoaffective with full mania. Allistic bipolar again would have a hard time with sensory deprivation and interest based work though "manic mission" can mimick hyperfixations in a way almost like adhd has. ASPD (sociopathy/psychopathy) might struggle with rules structure and safety but could maybe handle the likely open rules-based approach to societal wellbeing in that they wouldn't nessecarily be required to actually feel empathy to be a good person, though allistic ASPD might have a harder time with rules and might be more manipulative. It'd kinda remain unchanged depending on how defiant/impulsive the individual. Dissociative disorders would still be disabling the same ways as they currently are. Learning disabilities would likely be well accomodated. OCD would be disabled still but some compulsions and obsessions would be more normalized or even encouraged to certain extent, but many would have some ease from the orderly and structured or atleast routine-oriented way of life. But the thing being autistic people love to solve problems, so everything would recieve more accomodation regardless of if its inside the normative range of variance or not. And i feel like conditions would be more intensively studied and categorized and modeled and explained.
@@markwright3161part of their fixation with social things is because thats how they keep order. Conformity and expectation is a big part of how they ensure and enact moral integrity, respect, accomplish goals and make order. In my opinion something more interesting is the uncompulsive nature they have about doing things, the ability to do uninspired things, and the fact that their brain removes skills or knowledge that they don't consistently use. This is because they have more synaptic pruning, high levels of ambient dopamine with smaller spikes in it. They also are great at heuristics and rely on them heavily to compensate, many of them are able to take shortcuts to thinking entirely and this is thanks to their average higher global connectivity, an adaptation to the greatly reduced local connectivity in their brains. They lack hyperfocus and instead they overprocess their diminished sensory input, but make up for this dim experience and undetailed perception with an unusually good ability to keep thinkings in mind and be flexible, being detached from most things means they have unusual flexibility in what they can spend their time and energy doing, andeven have extra energy to keep track of time themselves since they lack an intrinsic sense of if something is worth doing. They mature faster because of their ability for heuristics, they are capable of fircing or creating context off little information and acting on it and are naturals at body coordination and interroception. There is more going on than just shallowmindedness, social prefference, and general convergence with one another. I know the point of the excercise is toget catharsis for how they treat us ina for of eye for an eye morality but reducing it to that actually gets neuroscience and psychiatry nowhere closer to really removing the notion of a default human, the only way to do that is to approach it as a whole and define it relative to every other perspective and put effort into how they would be disadvantaged or advantaged in every possible world. Note that neurotypical is several constructs, not just one. It's: 1: the model of what is majority/normative and undisadvantaged in current society 2: the absence/opposite of whatever neurotype/disability/disorder is being discussed 3: a real neurotype of its own, that is currently unamed (neurotypical doesn't count because thats a 3 fold construct dependant on comparisons that are arbitrary or change over time, allistic only is to be used in contrast to autistic and doesn't allow any possible co-occurance). The real neurotype needs an actual name that has no relation to other ones, sorta like how autism isn't named to contrast adhd or bipolar. Once this has a name is when the notion of a "normal mind" goes away regardless of who is the majority or disabled at a given point in history, and people can persue neuroscience without cures eugenics or neurogenocide in mind.
maybe one day we will find a cure. they said neurotypicality is connected to vaccines, unvaccinated children are not only more prone to dangerous diseases, but also are likely to develop neurotypicality.
When I was a young man this didn't happen. Its probably due to that new fangled electricity stuff which is causing this damage. Almost certainly not the parents fault though. Parents are infallible. Pity the parents thats why I say. My wife and I were very fortunate. We have 17 children, 49 grandchildren and a small county of great grandchildren and all of them are normal. Apart from Lester who left on a flying saucer anyway. Right in the middle of a family barbecue. We all ignored him so I can't confirm if he was neurotypical. I will be on the lookout and if I see any of then I will report them to the police using the telephone.
Yeessss yes YES! I don’t have any RUclips videos but was considering posting a video like this as I couldn’t find any “things aspies find weird about NT’s” videos/content, this is hilarious and aligns with my aspie perception of NT’s traits haha.
@@kellymolenaar530 Make and publish the video anyway! There's space for more fun content like this in the zeitgeist, and the creation and dissemination of such information and perspectives is the core of the internet! Aside from its main purpose, of course.
my friend's cousin's roomate's son has just been diagnosed as neurotypical, every day i hope that one day the parents will find the strength to overcome this heartbreaking diagnosis ❤❤
Lol this is pure gold. Living a lifetime being tormented by these people and you manage to get me amused at them lol. It is so hard to deal with them. I even tried imagining them as children but it does not help because they get even more angry when you act nice to them. They want you to react to them instead of responding. They do this by being offensive and abusive then if they manage to pull a negative reation they try to triangulate you with others who just witnessed their behavior. The worst part is the other people ignore what they did and try to mob you because they all working together. The sad fact is though governments would rather kill off all the higher functuoning people. Russia in particular went around murdering anyone who seemed too smart deeming them to much of a threat to be allowed to live. The higher functionings had to pretend to be dumb to survive this purging. What made them so dangerous? Simple, a higher functioning individual is smart thus they can see things and call them out to others and reveal lies and untruth. What government wants someone like that around?
“They do tend to show a heightened ability to understand emotions.” I’ve found that this tends to be highly dependent on shared social context, and that a neurotypical is increasingly inept at “reading” other neurotypicals as the differences between their social contexts of origin and living (Sitz im Leben) increase. Nevertheless, given the neurotypical’s propensity toward hasty generalization and distaste for nuanced analysis of datasets with sufficient diversity for such shortsighted fallacious thought to exposed as such, attempting to demonstrate this to someone on the neurotypical spectrum is often a fruitless endeavor, especially if they’re rather low-functioning/have fewer neurodivergent traits. Neurotypicals such as these will be most beneficial to society when placed in vocations where their lack of STEM potential, limited capacity for critical thought, and inability to _rationally_ adapt to interactions with folks with a comparatively different Sitz im Leben won’t lead them to unduly degrade the importance of creativity in society in favor of misguided, socio-contextually limited groupthink masquerading as cooperation and collaboration.
That is hilarious! 😄 or to put it in the words of Sir David Attemborough to comedian Paul Merton:"You make me pee myself with laughter! Mind you, I've got a weak bladder." 😅
Naspies😂 You forgot our great anxiety over maths. Oh good. Mild intellectual disability 😂 Almost impulsive? Nice understatement. I’m afraid you are confusing a neurotypicals with a narcissists(we can be both as can you, unfortunately). So true, low attention span as compared to your hyper focus! Incessant need for socialization lol😂 BPD, you say? I ❤u! Thanks for “not an all consuming statement” disclaimer. Low morals and open mindedness, risk taking etc ❤❤❤ so true. Yes. Please don’t take away our support. 😢 cause counselors will go out of business. Oh, I am so glad that you tease out our thoughts with your brilliant logic😂. Spice impulsivity, risk taking, etc. 🎉🎉. Thanks. I can’t wait to show this to my non -Naspie.
A lot of our so-called "autistic symptoms," the only ones most Naspies seem to notice, are actually trauma responses triggered by the Naspies' problematic traits that unfortunately shape the current world.
How about adding "selective tattle/snitch" to this list. Now, if someone is likely to get hurt, or get into serious trouble, then this kind of behavior obviously needs to be reported, but SERIOUSLY?! Do you guys REALLY need to rat on us if we even so much as cut in line, or make a comment that could potentially hurt somebody's feelings?! Now, I understand you neurotypicals might be TRYING to be helpful when you rat us out to an authority figure, but what I personally would find MORE helpful is if you were to come to ME first, take me ASIDE, and CALMLY tell ME what I have done that has upset you. WHY can't the same criteria that applies when telling on another neurotypical person also apply when telling on us?!
I### Typical Behaviors and Stereotypes 1. **Social Norms**: - **Communication Styles**: Direct and clear communication, typical of neurodivergent individuals, might be seen as the norm. Neurotypical styles, such as reading between the lines or using complex social cues, might be viewed as confusing or problematic. - **Social Interaction**: Frequent social interactions or a strong desire for social engagement might be perceived as overwhelming or intrusive in a society where individual space and solitude are valued. 2. **Cultural Expectations**: - **Interests and Focus**: A deep focus on specific interests and routines would be normalized and celebrated. Diverse interests and multitasking might be seen as lack of commitment or depth. - **Emotional Expression**: Emotional expression might be more reserved or regulated, reflecting the neurodivergent norm. Over-expressive or highly emotive responses might be viewed as a sign of instability or lack of self-control.
@Thomas Henley, I am amazed that you could make such a video without constantly cracking-up! Maybe you did laugh uncontrollably until you got yourself under sufficient-control to make the video!? Either way, the video is absolutely hilarious to me!
Have you never seen neurotypical storm out of the room shouting and being irrational?! Or get depressed? Or break down crying when confronted with the truth?
I agree with you buddy, this video mostly meant to be satirical... from a parallel world where everyone is autistic 🤩 I think society would be structured definitely if that was the reality, it’s just funny to think that neurotypical syndrome may exist in that world 😂
Well, you could say they are quite… insensitive. They do not feel like normal people. So they tend to disturb with loud noises, abnormal use of perfume or bright lights disturbing normal people as well as insects, birds…
Only really 1% of people are nerotypical so it should be a syndrome instead of ASD because ASD is like 1 out of 5 people 1 out of 3 have a disability and 1 out of 2 have chronic illness tbh
OK so I'm dyslexic not autistic and I don't belived nuerotypicals exist, although there are people who struggle with recognising the bug picture or can't see the links between things OK it's satire but we need to fund support for all difficulties not specific groups.
This isn't aimed at everyone, but these kind of things will inevitably attract these people, so: (Serious) Quick reminder: It is not okay to hate on anybody based on things they can't control, including being Neurotypical. Yes, there are a lot of really annoying and terrible neurotypicals, but that goes for every group ever! There are also good ones! and generalizing certain traits as bad just because you don't have them is especially hypocritical considering the circumstances!
The issue is that many of us (NT people) actually make all the effort to understand ND people. I see too many misconceptions like we don’t have trauma, mental health issues, issues fitting in, etc. Granted, we do not have these things due to any sort of developmental issue, but most of us don’t live some charmed life. Not all of us fit in. Not all of us are successful or have the tools to be successful. Not all of us refuse to accept people from other walks of life. Some of us are socially anxious, though it’s not about social skills. Some of us are mentally ill, but don’t have the option of just saying our diagnosis is not something we need to manage, as it’s not as benign as the conditions lumped into neurodiversity. Sometimes our tastes and interests just don’t line up with those of others, though their is no diagnosis to explain it. We also aren’t all either average IQ or slightly lower, though I don’t see why that would matter. Many of us try to understand these common conditions without actively getting a doctorate in psychology or neuroscience, but the efforts aren’t there if you don’t have the ND label. Even other neurotypical people, usually those who do somehow avoid ever having a profound struggle of some kind, don’t make an effort to see your side of things if there is no quantifiable reason rooted within your brain for you to just be different than them. But if we made content venting or poking fun at neurodivergence, we’d rightfully be deemed awful people. The effort to understand others should not be contingent on diagnostics. It should be there unless an individual could harm you if you try to understand them.
Many doesn't mean the majority. Of course there are plenty of NT's who put effort into accepting everyone, be they ND or something else not 'typical' in some other way, but there's still a huge number that don't make that effort or are simply defaulting to acting that way. One of the largest 'autism charities' has had a massive negative impact on a huge number of autistic people. It couldn't have become the biggest if the majority didn't support it, although I don't know if it's still going or not. I wasn't really paying attention to what was covered in this video as I was distracted reading comments while it played, but I feel like he probably just mimicked many earlier 'scientific' videos released on 'autism' by neurotypicals in those 'scientific fields', very formal and slow talking listing physical characteristics as if it's a skin disease or something without asking autistic people what the experience was like or how they need to come to decisions, work, etc, or what in the neurotypical world, the frankly toxic environment (As much for the reasons you list as any autistic person's experiences) that they just accept as 'life'. The difference between this video and those was that those were being very serious and not a form of comedy, so they were worse than if it was someone simply mocking autistic people, it was the scientific foundations for interacting with and how to treat autistic people. Neurotypicals also don't need to make content poking fun at neurodivergence because for many neurodivergent people, that's everyday life. Mocked for struggling to do the, as they perceive them, 'basic' tasks, being excluded for being extremely 'socially awkward' by their standards, etc. Difficulty playing sports for those who have coordination issues, writing or reading, maintaining eye contact, speaking, maintaining small talk, etc. Then there's those who based their interactions of how to interact with autistic people from those previously mentioned 'scientific' videos, so they aren't actually trying to be offensive, they just had a bad education that they perceived to have good intentions. Something that plays on my mind is when I spent all the energy I had for a week or so on communicating with a business about fitting a towbar to my car. I foresaw where it could be awkward from previous experiences, so put a huge amount of detail into emails about why I wanted a specific towbar but couldn't think of the brand so hoped their expertise could help find out what it was. I wanted the OEM towbar but without the OEM price as I thought if it was good enough for them to fit to their new cars I could be confident in it's quality for myself. Despite explaining everything, and physical interactions seeming pleasant, I then learned he was calling me a 'stupid ba****d' behind my back because I was wanting to fit an OEM towbar to a slightly older lower model Focus 'and not an RS or something'. It took a lot out of me to communicate with him that week or so, trying to be the best customer I could to make his life easier, eventually settling for tracking down the towbar myself (and having to settle for less certainty than I wanted to, hence asking them to guide me at first) and just asking for the Westfalia one from going through every brand he suggested (only 2, eventually, and too late), had listed on his website, etc and comparing images to the image on Ford's website to hopefully find the right one, all still without any help from him, just to then be called that behind my back, clearly not having read what I covered in the emails or asking for clarification in person as to why I wanted OEM if he didn't understand. Taking the step to get a towbar fitted took months to come to as well, so it was an extremely unpleasant experience, especially with the 2 faced nature of everything as it was in between me dropping off the car then picking it up again when he called me that, and dear only knows what else given that was minutes after my car was dropped off by me/he started working on it, seemingly as soon as he had someone else to talk to. That was over a year ago now, maybe closer to 2. Misunderstandings have a huge impact on me for some reason, and it's all I feel my interactions end in, no matter how much effort I try to put into clear communication. I pause before saying anything extra and look away to gather thoughts, and the other party takes that to mean I have nothing to say and they ramble on to something else they've got completely the wrong idea about, and I'm left without any chance to present the facts of the situation. Again, I would also have been happy for him to say in an email that he wasn't sure who supplied Ford their towbars if that was the case, then I would have gone through that process willingly myself, then settling on one and asking if he thought it looked right. He seemed to have more of an idea that Westfalia was OEM when it arrived though, so it might have just been an unwillingness to help, which is interesting as his business had high reviews and he was happy to give me and those other customers a lift to the nearby town or other location while we waited for the work to be done, so I guess it's only the superficial work he's happy to do. I would rather he helped with deciding on the towbar besides just suggesting going with the cheapest and had to walk home (a few miles, and I hate how exposed walking somewhere feels, like if you meet a stranger also walking or doing something at the front of their house and needing to say hello at some point, look at them but not appear nosy and also being stuck in the line of sight for way too long, but unable to just run away to get the discomfort over with) than had a lift and that awful interaction. It's not the only thing like that either, and every single event just piles up more anxiety for similar interactions in the future.
As an autistic none of these videos are any help defining what the neurotypical/allistic neurotype actually is, instead they're a form of social commentary pointing out the unfair judgements made about neurodivergents via a play of role reversal. People conflate unwellness with divergence often bc most divergents don't thrive in this society and then make the wrong assumption that neurotypicals have no ills, though they do and its really a matter of having less stressors making their life impossible though i do think that will change soon as corporations demand more and more inhumane and nonhuman standards of work and conditions to do it in. Yall have struggles too but the advantage of a world built for you even if it might not last long. These videos aren't nessecarily for the sake of saying neurotypicals are awful or being educational on what exactly their neurotype really is, but to show how things have gone through role reversal. Of course some people making them are more angry and resentful than others, but by and large i don't think there will be much of a genuine hatred or descrimination than a butthurt counter-reaction and there likely won't be a sort of punishment besides "just don't do this". People will likely still preffer to interact with their own who they more easily might relate to and enmesh with though, but note that it doesn't nessecarily mean the same thing for the autistic people doing that as it might for you and other neurotypicals, we just aren't "tribe bonded" the same way for lack of better words and leaving a group for non-emotional reasons is just something we do, we might even leave for emotional reasons but without real hard feelings. Even if you aren't applauded for it, your effort to understand is really appreciated and isn't being downgraded just because you happen to be neurotypical, this video is specifically social commentary about the neurotypical people who aren't willing to try and understand. There are IQ differences in neurotypes, not specifically universal to most but common. I personally don't place much significance on IQ but rathervways people process information or adapt, and there is a big difference there. Neurotypical people are great at adapting to unstructured, disruptive or disorganized situations than autistic people in a pretty notable way, even if neurotypical people struggle with learning wholly new skills or keeping skills they haven't used in a long time, and autistic people are very capable of learning any new skillset that interests them and retain unused skills quite well but aren't adaptable to present disruptions to routine or expectation. Neurotypicals have amazing intuition on how to coordinate their body or make workable assumptions or know their own bodily and emotional needs and can do whatever they need to and aren't compulsively compelled giving them ability to relax and disengage. Its very cool and useful and society was built around those capacities
Neurotypicals make fun of autustic people constantly. The fact that you fail to comprehend why such commentaries exist shows you haven't tried to understand at all.
It is a joke but it’s ironic because to neurodivergent people neurotypical behavior does seem to be the behaviour that is “not normal”. It’s just interesting how they see us as having a disability when we literally are more pure and real and they create all these complications but they all accept them and if you don’t know the secret agreements on when to be offended when someone doesn’t mean what they say and when not to be offended then you’re the one who gets funny looks. It’s sort of like bizarre social rules that aren’t really consistent or based on any actuality or truth that everyone has somehow agreed upon. But to neurodivergent people it just feels very confusing.

You are very generous to befriend a NT, let alone try to understand their damaged mind. I salute your generosity of spirit.
do you give your NT pet a chew toy? 👀
My NTs are constantly chewing at their leads, I thought I'd get them chew toys, but they keep trying to chew their leads instead.
@@WhoThisMonkey if you mean my cat... Don't worry she's a totally healthy fellow neurodivergent and finds things to chew on all over the house.
If you mean my friend, I do indeed know several unspecial needs people who all don't seem to enjoy chewing for some reason... I try to understand them but their unique way to view the world and to cope is sometimes... let's say challenging for me
I cannot over-state how much I love your comment ❤❤❤ Taste your own medicine, neurotypicals!!! 😂😂😂
The double standards Neurotypicals live by is SUPER annoying.
Hahaha, there’s nobody other than philosophers and autistic people to point those out! Not to say some things autistic people do can sometimes overlook their own double standards haha 😁
@@ThomasHenley I agree
@@ThomasHenley and I still don't know witch one of those two I am
@@ThomasHenley ND people are pretty much always made people's scapegoats, but there's scapegoats on the stereotypical side as well. Not that many. It's usually the "different", like the chronically ill, disabled, LGBTQIA, the poor, etc. NTs tend to be schemers and get intimidated by highly logical NDs because they don't want to be called out on their BS.
@@michaelobrien5891 I've lived next door to NT (suspected ) drug dealer and it was really scary. It felt like I stepped into alternate reality.
"...whether they are normal or neurotypical..." - genius 😂
Seriously though, this is really helpful for contextualising NT behaviour.
"autistic people don't understand sarcasm" anonymous Naspie.
Sarcasm? Noooo I don't know what that is either :P
I sar chasm over there and did not fall in thar chasm, some ain’t so lucky.😆😁😁😁🤣
To add to that, always remember:
NEUROTYPICALITY IS *_NOT_* A DEATH SENTENCE!!!
While a neurotypical is unlikely to become one of the best scientists or entrepreneurs, this does not mean they have nothing of value to add. In fact, as long as you as you make sure to provide them with plenty of validation, you will see they can actually be very nice and might even offer to help you out with practical matters.
As for the extraverted subtype, I strongly believe it is our duty to provide accommodations so that they, too, can contribute and be productive. While unable to simply focus on the actual work itself for the entire day (studies confirm this), as long as you provide them with places where they can go to in a “natural, spontaneous” way to “socialise” many times during the day, you will find they actually are able to also get some work done.
I believe governments should be open to subsidising companies who are willing to invest in these people. We really do need everyone!
This was great! 😂 I don't have autism or aspergers, but have ADHD and high IQ, and I find so-called normal people maddeningly frustrating, because I notice all their nonverbal and emotional signals, and they are constantly contradicting how they feel or act with their words, or they're literally saying something illogical that is totally different from what they really mean. They worship unhealthy behaviours like being able to do things you find mindnumbingly boring, being a neurotic perfectionist, tolerating all kinds of noise, disturbance and constant unexpected changes, or doing things at a stressful and unhealthy tempo. What would be good for aspies or people with adhd would probably also be healthy for them, it's just even more ridiculous and unhealthy for us.
You could even go to college I work with special needs . I know person with adhd who did both ! So go for whatever you want your in the best situation possible !
Thank you for those words! ❤ I actually did go to college and finished it, and it's a blessing and a curse, because all the deadlines, planning, requirement to also pass exams on the not so exciting subjects, etc were a real struggle. After, I spent years doing a job that only a neurotypical person could enjoy (and even they also got stress), that made me burn out with stress and depression. After getting diagnosed as an adult, I've finally done research and found a job that fits my brain and its strengths better. Still hard to work full time, though.
Normal doesn't mean good
It is sad the way this disease robs it's victims of their individuality and ability to experience empathy, on top of the severe cognitive deficits that alerted the world to this condition to begin with. It is remarkable that so many of them are able to live what at least appears to be a relatively normal life, but even in these situations, a closer examination reveals that their dysfunction has major negative impacts, especially in close relationships with normal people.
Perhaps one of the main difficulties is that there is a lack of language they have to explain the difficulties they have.
Language difficulties are across the board. For example, many of them have a fascinating ability to be exposed to a language on a daily basis and utterly fail to pick it up.... at all! It's mind-boggling.
I saw a website call NT syndrome ‘hyper social disorder’ which yeah… is about right lol :)
A great example of neurotypical syndrome is when a neurotypical male yells at the television set only when sports are shown on the screen.😁😁😁
Then my father definitely isn’t nerotypical because he’ll yell at me to stop playing NAASCAAR lol 😂 then say fine whatever . Or he’ll hold onto grudges or hate change .

@@bk3720 sounds like a great description of my mother😂

Napie: Neurotypical and Practically Identical Expression
If we were in the majority, then we would be the "neurotypicals" and those who are called "neurotypical" today would be considered "neurodivergent"
If we were the majority there wouldn't be a 'neurotypical'. They'd be the neuro-convergent, the cognitively limited, shallow headed (through their lack of ability to develop intense specialist interests in anything and pathological bias towards maintaining a social facade over meaningful connections with others), etc. :)
Some of you people are so reprehensibly resentful and arrogant. The irony of yours and others comments is that you fail to recognise and or/grasp the experiences of NT's as badly as they fail with ours. @@markwright3161
@@markwright3161there'd be more room for individual variation bit there would still be a divergent end in autistic majority world. Anyone non-autistic/allistic or that aren't ONLY autistic would be divergent and disabled to some extent.
Allistic would be limited in passion based world and maybe struggle with the possible sensory deprivation of an autistic centered design, dampened senses and all that. They could still do things because they have to, but they might not perform those careers or work with the same care or skill as someone who isn't allistic. They'd also need special education since their brains actually cut out any unused connections, so they need to use any skills they have consistently or risk losing them. If raised a certain way they could be made to more closely resemble autistic majority though it would be imperfect and they would still be disabled.
Adhd would work fine with passion based work, but couldn't form a static career or role and again would struggle with possible sensory deprivation or very unchanging environments, allistic adhd would have these disabilities but worse
Schizophrenia wouldn't have a hard time with the sensory deprivation but will still be disabled by delusions and hallucinations. Executive dysfunction would be an issue for allistic schizophrenics because they wouldn't have much ability with the interest based work layout.
Bipolar would have a similar type of disability as adhd when hypomanic, depressive is just disabled, and a little bit like schizoaffective with full mania. Allistic bipolar again would have a hard time with sensory deprivation and interest based work though "manic mission" can mimick hyperfixations in a way almost like adhd has.
ASPD (sociopathy/psychopathy) might struggle with rules structure and safety but could maybe handle the likely open rules-based approach to societal wellbeing in that they wouldn't nessecarily be required to actually feel empathy to be a good person, though allistic ASPD might have a harder time with rules and might be more manipulative. It'd kinda remain unchanged depending on how defiant/impulsive the individual.
Dissociative disorders would still be disabling the same ways as they currently are.
Learning disabilities would likely be well accomodated.
OCD would be disabled still but some compulsions and obsessions would be more normalized or even encouraged to certain extent, but many would have some ease from the orderly and structured or atleast routine-oriented way of life.
But the thing being autistic people love to solve problems, so everything would recieve more accomodation regardless of if its inside the normative range of variance or not. And i feel like conditions would be more intensively studied and categorized and modeled and explained.
@@markwright3161part of their fixation with social things is because thats how they keep order.
Conformity and expectation is a big part of how they ensure and enact moral integrity, respect, accomplish goals and make order.
In my opinion something more interesting is the uncompulsive nature they have about doing things, the ability to do uninspired things, and the fact that their brain removes skills or knowledge that they don't consistently use.
This is because they have more synaptic pruning, high levels of ambient dopamine with smaller spikes in it.
They also are great at heuristics and rely on them heavily to compensate, many of them are able to take shortcuts to thinking entirely and this is thanks to their average higher global connectivity, an adaptation to the greatly reduced local connectivity in their brains.
They lack hyperfocus and instead they overprocess their diminished sensory input, but make up for this dim experience and undetailed perception with an unusually good ability to keep thinkings in mind and be flexible, being detached from most things means they have unusual flexibility in what they can spend their time and energy doing, andeven have extra energy to keep track of time themselves since they lack an intrinsic sense of if something is worth doing.
They mature faster because of their ability for heuristics, they are capable of fircing or creating context off little information and acting on it and are naturals at body coordination and interroception.
There is more going on than just shallowmindedness, social prefference, and general convergence with one another. I know the point of the excercise is toget catharsis for how they treat us ina for of eye for an eye morality but reducing it to that actually gets neuroscience and psychiatry nowhere closer to really removing the notion of a default human, the only way to do that is to approach it as a whole and define it relative to every other perspective and put effort into how they would be disadvantaged or advantaged in every possible world.
Note that neurotypical is several constructs, not just one.
It's:
1: the model of what is majority/normative and undisadvantaged in current society
2: the absence/opposite of whatever neurotype/disability/disorder is being discussed
3: a real neurotype of its own, that is currently unamed (neurotypical doesn't count because thats a 3 fold construct dependant on comparisons that are arbitrary or change over time, allistic only is to be used in contrast to autistic and doesn't allow any possible co-occurance). The real neurotype needs an actual name that has no relation to other ones, sorta like how autism isn't named to contrast adhd or bipolar. Once this has a name is when the notion of a "normal mind" goes away regardless of who is the majority or disabled at a given point in history, and people can persue neuroscience without cures eugenics or neurogenocide in mind.
Technically no disabilities are the majority only 1% of people are nerotypical
maybe one day we will find a cure.
they said neurotypicality is connected to vaccines, unvaccinated children are not only more prone to dangerous diseases, but also are likely to develop neurotypicality.
Hahahaha!
Brilliant ✨️🤣
When I was a young man this didn't happen. Its probably due to that new fangled electricity stuff which is causing this damage. Almost certainly not the parents fault though. Parents are infallible. Pity the parents thats why I say. My wife and I were very fortunate. We have 17 children, 49 grandchildren and a small county of great grandchildren and all of them are normal. Apart from Lester who left on a flying saucer anyway. Right in the middle of a family barbecue. We all ignored him so I can't confirm if he was neurotypical.
I will be on the lookout and if I see any of then I will report them to the police using the telephone.
I feel for them, but life isn't fair. They should just try harder at not being neurotypical. If they wanted to they could do it

I have, unfortunately, been misdiagnosed with Neurotypical Disorder despite my intense focus on favored interests.
Lol this is pure gold. Living a lifetime being tormented by these people and you manage to get me amused at them lol. It is so hard to deal with them. I even tried imagining them as children but it does not help because they get even more angry when you act nice to them. They want you to react to them instead of responding. They do this by being offensive and abusive then if they manage to pull a negative reation they try to triangulate you with others who just witnessed their behavior. The worst part is the other people ignore what they did and try to mob you because they all working together.
The sad fact is though governments would rather kill off all the higher functuoning people. Russia in particular went around murdering anyone who seemed too smart deeming them to much of a threat to be allowed to live. The higher functionings had to pretend to be dumb to survive this purging. What made them so dangerous? Simple, a higher functioning individual is smart thus they can see things and call them out to others and reveal lies and untruth. What government wants someone like that around?

As an autistic person this man is literally speaking everything I think
Neurotypical = Sheep.
Neurotypical = sometimes npc.
“They do tend to show a heightened ability to understand emotions.”
I’ve found that this tends to be highly dependent on shared social context, and that a neurotypical is increasingly inept at “reading” other neurotypicals as the differences between their social contexts of origin and living (Sitz im Leben) increase. Nevertheless, given the neurotypical’s propensity toward hasty generalization and distaste for nuanced analysis of datasets with sufficient diversity for such shortsighted fallacious thought to exposed as such, attempting to demonstrate this to someone on the neurotypical spectrum is often a fruitless endeavor, especially if they’re rather low-functioning/have fewer neurodivergent traits. Neurotypicals such as these will be most beneficial to society when placed in vocations where their lack of STEM potential, limited capacity for critical thought, and inability to _rationally_ adapt to interactions with folks with a comparatively different Sitz im Leben won’t lead them to unduly degrade the importance of creativity in society in favor of misguided, socio-contextually limited groupthink masquerading as cooperation and collaboration.
I am sad for them. I cri every time

How about adding "selective tattle/snitch" to this list. Now, if someone is likely to get hurt, or get into serious trouble, then this kind of behavior obviously needs to be reported, but SERIOUSLY?! Do you guys REALLY need to rat on us if we even so much as cut in line, or make a comment that could potentially hurt somebody's feelings?! Now, I understand you neurotypicals might be TRYING to be helpful when you rat us out to an authority figure, but what I personally would find MORE helpful is if you were to come to ME first, take me ASIDE, and CALMLY tell ME what I have done that has upset you. WHY can't the same criteria that applies when telling on another neurotypical person also apply when telling on us?!
It’s probably because you dislike normal people so dam much
Hilarious!!! I haven't laughed so much in years!
Why not call it what it is? Neurotypical Disorder 😂
Thank you

I### Typical Behaviors and Stereotypes
1. **Social Norms**:
- **Communication Styles**: Direct and clear communication, typical of neurodivergent individuals, might be seen as the norm. Neurotypical styles, such as reading between the lines or using complex social cues, might be viewed as confusing or problematic.
- **Social Interaction**: Frequent social interactions or a strong desire for social engagement might be perceived as overwhelming or intrusive in a society where individual space and solitude are valued.
2. **Cultural Expectations**:
- **Interests and Focus**: A deep focus on specific interests and routines would be normalized and celebrated. Diverse interests and multitasking might be seen as lack of commitment or depth.
- **Emotional Expression**: Emotional expression might be more reserved or regulated, reflecting the neurodivergent norm. Over-expressive or highly emotive responses might be viewed as a sign of instability or lack of self-control.
Thought this is a fantastic skit premise
Omg this is great!!!

Have you never seen neurotypical storm out of the room shouting and being irrational?! Or get depressed? Or break down crying when confronted with the truth?
I agree with you buddy, this video mostly meant to be satirical... from a parallel world where everyone is autistic 🤩
I think society would be structured definitely if that was the reality, it’s just funny to think that neurotypical syndrome may exist in that world 😂
Nerotpical can dish it out but they can't take it
@@dogadventures280 that's what I do and I'm autistic
Well, you could say they are quite… insensitive. They do not feel like normal people. So they tend to disturb with loud noises, abnormal use of perfume or bright lights disturbing normal people as well as insects, birds…
Nice
Only really 1% of people are nerotypical so it should be a syndrome instead of ASD because ASD is like 1 out of 5 people 1 out of 3 have a disability and 1 out of 2 have chronic illness tbh
OK so I'm dyslexic not autistic and I don't belived nuerotypicals exist, although there are people who struggle with recognising the bug picture or can't see the links between things OK it's satire but we need to fund support for all difficulties not specific groups.
Lolzz
This isn't aimed at everyone, but these kind of things will inevitably attract these people, so:
(Serious) Quick reminder: It is not okay to hate on anybody based on things they can't control, including being Neurotypical. Yes, there are a lot of really annoying and terrible neurotypicals, but that goes for every group ever! There are also good ones! and generalizing certain traits as bad just because you don't have them is especially hypocritical considering the circumstances!

lmfao
The issue is that many of us (NT people) actually make all the effort to understand ND people. I see too many misconceptions like we don’t have trauma, mental health issues, issues fitting in, etc. Granted, we do not have these things due to any sort of developmental issue, but most of us don’t live some charmed life. Not all of us fit in. Not all of us are successful or have the tools to be successful. Not all of us refuse to accept people from other walks of life. Some of us are socially anxious, though it’s not about social skills. Some of us are mentally ill, but don’t have the option of just saying our diagnosis is not something we need to manage, as it’s not as benign as the conditions lumped into neurodiversity. Sometimes our tastes and interests just don’t line up with those of others, though their is no diagnosis to explain it. We also aren’t all either average IQ or slightly lower, though I don’t see why that would matter. Many of us try to understand these common conditions without actively getting a doctorate in psychology or neuroscience, but the efforts aren’t there if you don’t have the ND label. Even other neurotypical people, usually those who do somehow avoid ever having a profound struggle of some kind, don’t make an effort to see your side of things if there is no quantifiable reason rooted within your brain for you to just be different than them. But if we made content venting or poking fun at neurodivergence, we’d rightfully be deemed awful people. The effort to understand others should not be contingent on diagnostics. It should be there unless an individual could harm you if you try to understand them.
Many doesn't mean the majority. Of course there are plenty of NT's who put effort into accepting everyone, be they ND or something else not 'typical' in some other way, but there's still a huge number that don't make that effort or are simply defaulting to acting that way. One of the largest 'autism charities' has had a massive negative impact on a huge number of autistic people. It couldn't have become the biggest if the majority didn't support it, although I don't know if it's still going or not.
I wasn't really paying attention to what was covered in this video as I was distracted reading comments while it played, but I feel like he probably just mimicked many earlier 'scientific' videos released on 'autism' by neurotypicals in those 'scientific fields', very formal and slow talking listing physical characteristics as if it's a skin disease or something without asking autistic people what the experience was like or how they need to come to decisions, work, etc, or what in the neurotypical world, the frankly toxic environment (As much for the reasons you list as any autistic person's experiences) that they just accept as 'life'. The difference between this video and those was that those were being very serious and not a form of comedy, so they were worse than if it was someone simply mocking autistic people, it was the scientific foundations for interacting with and how to treat autistic people.
Neurotypicals also don't need to make content poking fun at neurodivergence because for many neurodivergent people, that's everyday life. Mocked for struggling to do the, as they perceive them, 'basic' tasks, being excluded for being extremely 'socially awkward' by their standards, etc. Difficulty playing sports for those who have coordination issues, writing or reading, maintaining eye contact, speaking, maintaining small talk, etc. Then there's those who based their interactions of how to interact with autistic people from those previously mentioned 'scientific' videos, so they aren't actually trying to be offensive, they just had a bad education that they perceived to have good intentions.
Something that plays on my mind is when I spent all the energy I had for a week or so on communicating with a business about fitting a towbar to my car. I foresaw where it could be awkward from previous experiences, so put a huge amount of detail into emails about why I wanted a specific towbar but couldn't think of the brand so hoped their expertise could help find out what it was. I wanted the OEM towbar but without the OEM price as I thought if it was good enough for them to fit to their new cars I could be confident in it's quality for myself. Despite explaining everything, and physical interactions seeming pleasant, I then learned he was calling me a 'stupid ba****d' behind my back because I was wanting to fit an OEM towbar to a slightly older lower model Focus 'and not an RS or something'. It took a lot out of me to communicate with him that week or so, trying to be the best customer I could to make his life easier, eventually settling for tracking down the towbar myself (and having to settle for less certainty than I wanted to, hence asking them to guide me at first) and just asking for the Westfalia one from going through every brand he suggested (only 2, eventually, and too late), had listed on his website, etc and comparing images to the image on Ford's website to hopefully find the right one, all still without any help from him, just to then be called that behind my back, clearly not having read what I covered in the emails or asking for clarification in person as to why I wanted OEM if he didn't understand. Taking the step to get a towbar fitted took months to come to as well, so it was an extremely unpleasant experience, especially with the 2 faced nature of everything as it was in between me dropping off the car then picking it up again when he called me that, and dear only knows what else given that was minutes after my car was dropped off by me/he started working on it, seemingly as soon as he had someone else to talk to. That was over a year ago now, maybe closer to 2.
Misunderstandings have a huge impact on me for some reason, and it's all I feel my interactions end in, no matter how much effort I try to put into clear communication. I pause before saying anything extra and look away to gather thoughts, and the other party takes that to mean I have nothing to say and they ramble on to something else they've got completely the wrong idea about, and I'm left without any chance to present the facts of the situation. Again, I would also have been happy for him to say in an email that he wasn't sure who supplied Ford their towbars if that was the case, then I would have gone through that process willingly myself, then settling on one and asking if he thought it looked right. He seemed to have more of an idea that Westfalia was OEM when it arrived though, so it might have just been an unwillingness to help, which is interesting as his business had high reviews and he was happy to give me and those other customers a lift to the nearby town or other location while we waited for the work to be done, so I guess it's only the superficial work he's happy to do. I would rather he helped with deciding on the towbar besides just suggesting going with the cheapest and had to walk home (a few miles, and I hate how exposed walking somewhere feels, like if you meet a stranger also walking or doing something at the front of their house and needing to say hello at some point, look at them but not appear nosy and also being stuck in the line of sight for way too long, but unable to just run away to get the discomfort over with) than had a lift and that awful interaction. It's not the only thing like that either, and every single event just piles up more anxiety for similar interactions in the future.
As an autistic none of these videos are any help defining what the neurotypical/allistic neurotype actually is, instead they're a form of social commentary pointing out the unfair judgements made about neurodivergents via a play of role reversal.
People conflate unwellness with divergence often bc most divergents don't thrive in this society and then make the wrong assumption that neurotypicals have no ills, though they do and its really a matter of having less stressors making their life impossible though i do think that will change soon as corporations demand more and more inhumane and nonhuman standards of work and conditions to do it in. Yall have struggles too but the advantage of a world built for you even if it might not last long.
These videos aren't nessecarily for the sake of saying neurotypicals are awful or being educational on what exactly their neurotype really is, but to show how things have gone through role reversal. Of course some people making them are more angry and resentful than others, but by and large i don't think there will be much of a genuine hatred or descrimination than a butthurt counter-reaction and there likely won't be a sort of punishment besides "just don't do this". People will likely still preffer to interact with their own who they more easily might relate to and enmesh with though, but note that it doesn't nessecarily mean the same thing for the autistic people doing that as it might for you and other neurotypicals, we just aren't "tribe bonded" the same way for lack of better words and leaving a group for non-emotional reasons is just something we do, we might even leave for emotional reasons but without real hard feelings.
Even if you aren't applauded for it, your effort to understand is really appreciated and isn't being downgraded just because you happen to be neurotypical, this video is specifically social commentary about the neurotypical people who aren't willing to try and understand.
There are IQ differences in neurotypes, not specifically universal to most but common. I personally don't place much significance on IQ but rathervways people process information or adapt, and there is a big difference there. Neurotypical people are great at adapting to unstructured, disruptive or disorganized situations than autistic people in a pretty notable way, even if neurotypical people struggle with learning wholly new skills or keeping skills they haven't used in a long time, and autistic people are very capable of learning any new skillset that interests them and retain unused skills quite well but aren't adaptable to present disruptions to routine or expectation.
Neurotypicals have amazing intuition on how to coordinate their body or make workable assumptions or know their own bodily and emotional needs and can do whatever they need to and aren't compulsively compelled giving them ability to relax and disengage. Its very cool and useful and society was built around those capacities
You poor, poor dears. So misunderstood! It isn't fair, but that's life, take your meds.
Neurotypicals make fun of autustic people constantly. The fact that you fail to comprehend why such commentaries exist shows you haven't tried to understand at all.
@@felixoupopoteright? Sounds like they need to make a video about the struggles being a misunderstood naspie.
Just checking this is a joke right?
Nah
It is a joke but it’s ironic because to neurodivergent people neurotypical behavior does seem to be the behaviour that is “not normal”. It’s just interesting how they see us as having a disability when we literally are more pure and real and they create all these complications but they all accept them and if you don’t know the secret agreements on when to be offended when someone doesn’t mean what they say and when not to be offended then you’re the one who gets funny looks. It’s sort of like bizarre social rules that aren’t really consistent or based on any actuality or truth that everyone has somehow agreed upon. But to neurodivergent people it just feels very confusing.
it is intented that way yes but it also makes for a fine educational video
"It's funny because it's true"
