Monomania

  • Posted on June 3, 2009

Question:

Since Aspies are such mono-taskers, why is it that a monocultural lifestyle is more popular among the multi-tasking neurotypicals?

(This twit thinks he’s getting educated by watching news specials and/or talk shows like Oprah, Larry King Live, etc., who then think they’re getting the truth from Autism Speaks, who does not allow autistics to speak and is controlled by mega-buck corporations like Toys ‘R Us, etc.   Bottom line? → Money is loved and people are used.)

Answer:

Ding! Neurodiversity doesn’t fit with a monocultural lifestyle. That’s why.

Postscript — If this joke is offensive to NTs, it’s not meant to be. As I’ve said before with some of my other humor, it’s how I sometimes cope with things beyond my control.

For example, that unavoidable small talk question: “Do you work?” No matter how I reply, the response I almost always get is, “Some of us have to work.” or it’s, “Some of us can’t afford the luxury of staying at home.”

The last time I heard this sort of response, it came from a person who should know better than to talk down to an Aspie. But then, what else should I expect from an ignorant and insensitve¹ ‘educated’ NT who is too mind blind to realize she’s being insulting by telling me that I’m ‘diseased’?

¹That’s the way my NT husband described her.
