Why do socially awkward people say they are non-NT?

[StrangerDanger]

My mental disabilities literally prevent me from doing any of the stuff I mentioned in the original thread post, I was abused in my childhood. I needed help through school, I can't get through a job, can't drive, I never played sports, I spent all my birthdays alone, i forget things all the time, i wasted thousands of dollars due to my incompetence, I can't even wear a cap ob my head or tie a tie due to sensory problems, I couldn't walk or talk until I was much older than my peers which is why my mental disabilities were spotted and diagnosed at a young age, I barely survived childhood I almost died several times including when I was born. My life and my mind is way more fucked up than any of the normies on this forum

Ok cool you are more deranged than most, as always there is a bigger fish. But I can't see how you being extra messed up closes the gap between high functioning autists and normies, there is still a clear boundary between how the two function. You might personally think they are NT in comparison but for them you are just a small irrelevant exception

My problems are only irrelevant to those who don't understand what it's like to be truly non-NT. I personally understand the problems of those who are actually non-NT and they understand mine. I have made friends and connected with alot of actual non-NT people which is why I can spot someone pretending to be non-NT from a mile away.

The problem isn't that I'm an anomaly amongst non-NTs, the problem is everyone wants to be weird these days and claim they have problems which they don't have, they all wanna feel like they don't fit in so people who are actually non-NT (such as myself) get pushed further away from the norm and don't get the recognition that we need for actual issues that affect us from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed. You simply don't understand, if you did you wouldn't be saying all this crap.

Well they technically are neurodivergent since they fit the description, are they not? Maybe you guys who struggle severely would have to coin up a new term like mentally impaired or something

or maybe you need to piss off and stop claiming your non-NT when you lived a relatively normal life and weren’t diagnosed with ANY mental problems that make you non-NT in your 20+ years of existence

 

[stevielake]

no the difference is that theyre high functioning non-nts and you are a stunted low functioning non-nt. truth is if you cant drive a car you are mentally challenged

Even aspies can drive 1:18 and hold careers





OP is confusing mental retardation with neurodivergency

 

[ascension]

They chat bullshit man, there's morons here who claim they're autistic and ugly, while simultaneously making threads about FWB's and girls they've fucked

I got a combo of mental illnesses retard, something a norman like you wouldn’t understand.

extreme ADHD (literally ranked in the 10th percentile for processing speed) + dyspraxia + potential Autism

btw for the autism I was actually recommended for a diagnosis by a licensed psychologist but the pandemic happened, I’m not just some normie that is “self diagnosing”. I didn’t think I had autism until a professional told me I might.

over for me cuz my iq and cognitive ability twst shows im a slow procceser and have dyspraxia (low physical coordination). adhd diagnosed when i was a kindergardener. fatigue/autistic social skills.

Low IQ thread. High functioning autism is a thing.

Many autistic people are very intelligent and can perform well in many tasks as long as they don't involve socializing.
