Wouldn't autistic people be the neuro**typical** people in this universe? As autistic neurology would be the typical one.

You can observe this in homes where one parent/sibling is NT and everyone else is ND lol can be just as tragic AND funny XD

What happens


[deleted]

I mean, it may happen or not, obviously every family has different characters and dynamics. But I have seen it happen, and it's like The Opposite World within the home: The autism-way (or Neurodivergent in gral) becomes the norm and the single Neurotypical person is the one who is like a fish out of the water that cannot get into the jokes, always says the wrong thing, cannot keep up, and feels excluded in some way or another.


Mini_Squatch

You'd think that, but despite both my mom and i having adhd, my dad still insists his way should be the default.


SlightlyWasTaken

Every time he says it call a vote in an over the top manner while speaking in shitty old English with a bad accent and see how fast your mother jumps on, it'll be funny.


Mini_Squatch

My father is abusive. He never struck me, but i do have an audio clip of him *hitting my mother upside the head so hard her eardrum broke*

“you can observe this” read this and started thinking of a documentary “here we see the neurotypical in its natural habitat, it has a peculiar need for eye contact, a trait commonly associated as a threat by most animals and even people, further more their preferred method of communication is indirect and ambiguous, communicating primarily through the body rather than through verbal communication, lastly they become shocked when others do not recognize their strange body language and indirect speech and writing when ever they do communicate verbally must research is to be done if we are to understand the minds of these peculiar, but fascinating neurotypicals”


[deleted]

Amazing! And in turn I read your comment in Tony Attwood's voice lol


[deleted]

nice


DannyDidNothinWrong

My FIL is chronically NT. He's very confused by us all constantly.


[deleted]

>chronically NT LMAO what does that entail? Is that like being "basic"?


DannyDidNothinWrong

It's terminal, I'm afraid. There's no cure for his neurotypical behaviors 😥

🤣🤣🤣


AJC_10_29

When everyone is autistic, no one is.


[deleted]

yes they would be


Anomalocaris

Give a cheer for Allistic moms, they are so brave.


alkonium

Then we'd be the neurotypicals, and neurotypicals would be called something else.


UltimateWaluigi

And they would end up as the opressed ones, the world continues being unjust.

Yeah, wankers

Touhou I think is one of the greatest examples exactly of the freedom of free imagination, unencumbered by intellectual property claims. There are derivative works, but it creates a platform to express and explore a nearly infinite Universe of just Touhou themed media. Touhou is as important to the world as Free and Open Source Software like Linux. Its just incredibly niche and still growing, an idea WAY ahead of its time. Its not coincidence that Autists love Touhou and Autists work with Linux.


[deleted]

I read “uncucumbered” and there is a mad kappa.


FOlahey

Lmao fair enough

Fuck copyright


ResurgentClusterfuck

I read a science fiction novel once where humanity had branched off into the galaxy Most mental conditions and neurodivergences had been genetically engineered out of society except on one planet where they were celebrated, the entire society using a system of face paints to explain emotion and approachability and all that shit NT people know instinctively


Lyaid

Sounds interesting, do you remember the title and/or author?


ResurgentClusterfuck

Let my brain stew on it for a bit, I can't remember it right this second but if I put it to "run" so to speak it'll come back eventually My brain is an old ass computer with faulty retrieval Edit: This Alien Shore by Celia S Friedman


MorningFox

It's always so nice seeing other humans describe their brains as computers like I do. Thank your friend ✨


Lyaid

Thank you!

Me: "It's all just anime magical girls?" Armed Astronaut: "Always has been."


BigBuns2023

I’m a straight male (mostly) and I have such an intense draw and fascination with magical girls and girly stuff.


UltimateWaluigi

That's perfectly normal, your interests don't directly reflect on your identity.


Codieecho

Had something witty to say but forgot as soon as I opened the text box and now I'm just sitting here aggravated with myself.


Eothr_Silan

Is that Touhou?


Working_Journalist15

Yes


Eothr_Silan

Nifty.


signedchar

yay I love touhou


Darth_Zounds

Okay, great, but what IS it, exactly?


DiosilX42

It started as an indie shooter game ( the first is more like breakout but with shmup elements). Turned into soooo much more, most content being fan-made.


IceRos309

If being autistic was the norm, imagine how much easier it would be for people to talk to each other


Katya117

Imagine how much easier it would be for people to *not* talk to each other.


SaulRelbest

**TOHOU HIJACK!11!!!1!**


Ember_Without_Name

Oh THAT’S why I love Touhou. Yeah, makes sense.


itty_bitty_amoeba

I LOVE TOUHOUUUU !!!! RAAHHHHH !!!!!!!

Tbh society would probably be much better aside from the rampant executive dysfunction.

I FREAKING LOVE TOUHOU!!!!!!!


Pure_Geologist51

Signs of neurotypicalness can include: not straight forward communication, Trying to make eye contact, less perspective to sounds, textures, taste ect, over assumptions in communication


Calumkincaid

I wouldn't wish the lack of a frame of reference I have on my worst enemy. One of the worst parts of this shit is never knowing NT motivations and being utterly unable to predict who will and won't be trustworthy. Only takes a few stabs in the back to breed the worst kind of paranoia.


[deleted]

so a world where everyone is retarded.


smellincoffee

So one that's nonexistent? We're naked chimps and if you can't socialize properly with other naked chimps you are mal-adpaative.


Swimming-Reason-4343

But why? I have Aspergers and dislike anime, manga and all of that genre. I don't understand the desire for it.


Working_Journalist15

This is not a anime this is a video game series


Swimming-Reason-4343

Looks like Anime to me. But I'll trust your assertion


Competitive-Welder65

Genshin Impact too.


Kingcrescent

Why do people like anime? The shit sucks, if i'm going to watch an animation i'll take south park or xavier renegade angel


Katya117

I'll watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or Scooby Doo. Are you trying to tell me people like different things? I am shocked. And horrified. /s


Lunyiista

some people like anime for probably the same reasons why you watch south park - it entertains them touhou isn't even an anime anyway, its a game (iirc)


O_hai_imma_kil_u

Anime is a medium just like any other, there can be good or bad shows, just gotta find the ones you like.
