A Study of Human Behaviour from the unique perspective of Aspergers Syndrome

​​
This website was created to study neurotypical human behavior & society from the unique biological & anthropological perspective of Asperger’s Syndrome. Please note: This site is best viewed on a desktop or laptop, as it was designed for this format.

Subsequently, I will use the term 'NT Humans' to denote neurotypical individuals a designation frequently employed within the autistic community to refer to those not on the autism spectrum. Asperger’s Syndrome is a structural variation in the brain’s architecture that gives rise to differences in cognitive processing and how we perceive the world.
People with Asperger’s Syndrome perceive the world quite differently from NT Humans; they often lack a maladaptive ego or the irrational confirmation biases that affect decision making and objectivity. As Professor Tony Attwood famously noted, 'People with Asperger’s Syndrome have an objectivity that neurotypical humans find hard to comprehend'.
​
​
Welcome To the Website
People with Asperger’s Syndrome often have an altered sense of 'Theory of Mind' compared to neurotypical NT Humans. The term 'Theory of Mind' was first coined by US psychologist David Premack. Psychologists use this term to denote the everyday ability to attribute mental states to other people and to thereby interpret, explain, and predict their behaviour. Research suggests that autistic people can have a much higher density of synapses in the brain when compared to the typical NT Human brain. This gives rise to a range of traits, both good and bad. Some will experience more of the former and others more of the latter, while perhaps most of us with the condition have a cocktail of both.
​​​
The neurodiversity in humans is vast, and that is no different in people with Asperger’s Syndrome. The brain of someone with Asperger’s is wired differently than that of a neurotypical NT Human. With that wiring comes benefits, such as vastly improved objective analytical capabilities and an almost singular focus on logical, rational thinking. However, having Asperger’s also has a detrimental side, which I will explore in more detail later.
​
The classic and sadly endemic response from NT Humans toward those with Asperger’s is projection, using comments such as "I can’t relate to them" or "they’re weird." In reality, without introspection, the NT human does not realize the error lies in their own lack of a structured "Theory of Mind" to deal with differences in behavior. Studies show that while approximately 95% of NT Humans believe they are self-aware, only 10% to 15% actually possess true introspection.
Rather than admitting their own shortcomings, it is easier to project the error onto the person with Asperger’s and blame their condition. Most NT humans cannot comprehend what it is like to view the world through the level of objectivity that people with Asperger’s generally possess. Research, such as the study published in Nature, proves that many NT Humans are unwilling to interact with or choose to ostracize people with Asperger’s based on "wafer-thin" reasons and an innate intolerance of difference.
​
Theory of Mind concerns our ability not simply to have beliefs, but to have beliefs about mental states, including the recursive ability to understand "beliefs about beliefs." In short, Theory of Mind is a set of social rules that define how humans act when interacting. Not being bound by these rules frees people with Asperger’s from the rigid thinking of the neurotypical mind. Instead, we can view human nature and behavior from an objective, unbiased, and emotionally neutral standpoint. No warped ego or cognitive dissonance interferes with our observations; the analytical mind simply records the observation and nothing more.
​
Theory of Mind is so intertwined with the NT Human ego that logical interactions are often restricted by both. The NT Theory of Mind provides a limited perspective, and the ego prevents tNT Humanhem from admitting to anything perceived as a weakness. These fundamental elements of NT Human psychology make objective decision-making difficult and fuel the misanthropy that many with Asperger’s feel.
​
Individuals on the spectrum often experience social challenges that lead to isolation. The complexities of social interaction, which can seem inconsistent and unpredictable, are difficult to navigate. This ongoing struggle contributes to a vulnerability toward mental health conditions, including symptoms resembling Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Studies indicate a link between sensory experiences, such as olfactory cues, and strong emotional memories associated with trauma. For some, these sensitivities heighten the impact of negative experiences. It is important to acknowledge that suicidality is more prevalent in the autistic community, underscoring the significant challenges many face.
​
Common struggles include:
-
Hyperarousal: Difficulty sleeping, irritability, or hypervigilance.
-
Anxiety: Both generalized and specific.
-
Avoidance: Emotional numbing, detachment, and withdrawal.
-
Low Mood: Depression and paranoia.
-
Intrusive Thoughts: Nightmares and flashbacks​​​
Individuals with Asperger’s experience increased daily stress due to communication styles that differ from the majority. Executive function challenges, encompassing skills like working memory and self-regulation, can also impact focus and emotional management as one ages. Personally, living among NT Humans has been a journey of immense suffering.
​
Differences in perspective can lead to misinterpretations; for example, altruistic behaviors from someone with Asperger’s may be viewed with skepticism by NT individuals. Acknowledging these differences is crucial for inclusivity. As Chris Hedges noted, the "cult of the self" often dominates society, prioritizing image over substance and personal advancement over genuine equality.
Influential Academics & Literature in my Research..
For over a decade, I've researched Evolutionary Psychology and Genetics, yet it was Professor Richard Dawkins's work as an Evolutionary Biologist that most profoundly illuminated human behavior.
His books and research clarified the roots of human cruelty, the drive for power and control, the relentless urge to compete, and the natural tendency towards hierarchical social structures
Professor Tony Attwood, a highly regarded clinical psychologist, is a leading specialist in this area.
He has authored several excellent books and is a prominent figure in the study of Asperger's Syndrome and the complexities it presents when integrating into a neurotypical society.
​
'The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome' is one of his excellent books.

Also very influential to my research was a book from Sir Francis Galton called 'Hereditary Genius' which is a fantastic book & really was ground breaking at the time of its release.
The book 'Hereditary Genius' goes into great detail just how important genes are in a persons character & the genetically driven behavioural patterns that derive from them genes.
Christopher Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, is a highly accomplished writer and a brilliant analyst of the modern world.
The former New York Times correspondent has produced insightful works on society and the decaying, venal power structures that dominate it
​
One of his recent books was 'Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle'
The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer had a beautifully insightful mind regarding humanity and its nature; he was very influential in my research and my understanding of NT Humans . Even though his views on humanity were contentious at the time, they are likely even more unpalatable for most NT Humans to tolerate today, which is why modern academics often discard him as a pariah.
This, however, does not make his realizations about humanity any less true; it simply means that the vast majority of NT Humans are still not evolved enough to admit the reality of who they really are. Schopenhauer argued that humans are "Driven" by a blind, irrational "Will" to survive and reproduce. To him, "Care" and "Love" were just a "Suburban Glaze" used by the species to trick individuals into serving the "Will."
Fellow Aspergian and 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said: 'Do not fall victim to excessive idealism and believe that telling the truth will bring you closer to people. People love and reward those who can soothe them with illusions. Since ancient times, humanity has only punished those who speak the truth. If you want to stay among people, share their illusions. The truth is spoken only by those who are ready to depart.' Self-reflection is not possible for the vast majority of humans; Nietzsche saw this clearly, as do most people with Asperger’s. Though never officially diagnosed, as the condition had not been identified in his time, he displayed all the hallmarks of the condition. His beautifully clear, objective way of looking at human behavior could only be achieved by such a brain! he observed that "Integrity" is rare and that most humans wear a "Mask" of morality to hide their own "Fragility."

In my youth, I believed NT Humans chose their behavior, such as bullying or harming animals. However, I was naive and ignorant of natural selection and the evolutionary origins of humanity. Most, if not all, of their behaviors can be traced back to evolutionary psychology and primate genetics. We must bear in mind that modern humans share a significant portion of their genetic code with chimpanzees and gorillas. While the 4.4% genetic difference is significant and defines us as human, the majority of the code remains the primitive, brutal programming of our common ancestors. This is why NT Humans behave in this manner.
Ultimately, animals and people who think or behave differently, such as those with Asperger’s Syndrome, simply become 'wounded prey' (as Professor Tony Attwood writes) to an inherent intolerance of difference. It is inaccurate to claim that individuals with Asperger's lack complex emotions, affection, or sentiment. Our outward behavior often masks deep-seated emotions that NT humans fail to recognize due to their restrictive Theory of Mind & lack of tolerance. For the most part, NT society operates on a thin veneer of lies and morality, where material greed is prioritized and wisdom is viewed with disdain. Ego-driven intelligence is praised, while intelligence of the heart and compassionate character are ignored.
​
The Corona virus & the illusion of Altruism & Freedom..
Like most things in NT Human society, the illusion of selflessness which is essentially altruism is often just that: an illusion. Many speak the language of kindness and act with benevolence, but it only takes a minor crisis or a societal panic for their callous indifference and true colors to emerge. This became apparent very quickly in March 2020 when the coronavirus appeared. The global spread of the virus revealed how rapidly social cohesion can vanish, exposing the raw survival instincts beneath the surface of NT interactions. For most NT humans, relationships are governed by the "Social Exchange Theory," where a person is valued as long as the "reward" of their company outweighs the "cost." Once the novelty fades or the interaction requires too much intellectual effort (the "cost" of dealing with raw truth), they move on to a path of less resistance.
​​
The panic whipped up by the news media was enough to trigger a frenzy in NT Humans. Very quickly, the bubble of human kindness was punctured. This behavior is perfectly explained in the excellent book 'The Selfish Gene' by Professor Richard Dawkins. Interestingly, while other great apes show survival instincts, the specific type of social panic and hoarding seen in NT Humans is a unique phenomenon. The panic buying of household items was a brilliant insight into the actual genetic behavior of the NT population.
​
Indeed, the fake illusion of kindness and altruism in NT Human society seems to bring comfort to them. It is a strange kind of comfort where belief is based on fantasy and illusion rather than fact. The mere belief that they are a kind and caring species seems sufficient for them to console themselves. Yet, this belief is a charade. When a crisis rears its head, they cast aside the illusory blankets of altruism and show their true colors. Selfish individualism and hedonistic behavior seem to fuel their every action.
​

Are Human Beings really Great Apes?
No other species in history has done more damage to this planet in such a short time than NT Humans. No other species has wiped out more life forms as a direct consequence of their behavior. Yet, NT Humans still maintain an unwarranted and complacent self-righteousness.
I like to think that if an alien species ever visited and viewed what the human race has become, they would shake their heads and ask: 'What have you got to be so proud of? Look at your behavior and what you are doing to the planet.'
​
The word or promise of an NT human often means nothing. They are just empty sounds. Their commitments are dependent on their mood at the time. Though they claim to be sincere, what they say can change in a minute, an hour, or a day as promptly as their emotions shift. Integrity and morality in modern NT Humans seem to be things of the past, if indeed they ever existed at all
​Despite common skepticism, humans are indeed classified within the great ape family, Hominidae. Hominoids, or apes, belong to the superfamily Hominoidea, which includes gibbons (Hylobatidae) and hominids. Hominids encompass orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. A key genetic distinction between humans and other great apes is the number of chromosomes. Humans possess 23 pairs, while other great apes have 24. This difference arose from a chromosomal fusion event in the human evolutionary lineage, where two ancestral ape chromosomes merged to form human chromosome 2. Notably, humans share a closer genetic relationship with chimpanzees than a donkey does with a horse. While donkeys and horses can produce viable offspring, this comparison underscores the relatively small genetic distance between humans and chimpanzees.

Cousin of modern day Humans The Chimpanzee
The irony here is that one of the biggest problems for people with Asperger’s is the 'Theory of Mind' of the typical NT Human. It is so rigid and strict regarding acceptable behaviors that it is almost impossible not to trigger an alarm in their brain. This is partly due to an innate intolerance of difference and a Theory of Mind that is almost set in concrete. It won't tolerate any behavior that challenges the impossible criteria they expect.
​
It only takes a minor infringement of the NT Human's perceived criteria to trigger a primitive brain response: 'they must be a threat' or 'this is weird.' Their brains then release a cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters that convince them the person is an adversary in the competition for resources. This is an obvious maladaptive behavior that is simply not relevant in modern society.
​
To make matters worse, there are no clear guidelines. Every NT Human seems to have subjective personal criteria that differ from person to person. On top of that, the allowed 'criteria' are influenced by their current mood. Since NT Humans themselves find it impossible to stick to these ever changing standards, what chance do people with Asperger’s have? The vast majority of NT humans are playing a persona. They act out what they think society wants to see because they fear being ostracized.
This lies in the incessant need for 'belonging' and tribal affiliation. It is very rare to meet the real person; instead, you are greeted with an act. They seem to value being sly and manipulative; whoever is the most socially dominant wins. If someone is not as manipulative or assertive, they are looked down on and bullied. It is a constant game of one-upmanship regarding leadership or mate selection within the tribe.
​
Scientific estimates suggest that 90% to 95% of NT Human behavior and decisions are driven by the unconscious mind and emotions rather than rational thought. This means most actions occur without explicit awareness for several reasons:
​
Unconscious Processing: Only about 5% of NT Human brain activity is considered conscious. The remaining 95% operates subconsciously, handling automatic bodily functions, habits, memories, and emotional responses.
​
Habits and Patterns: Up to 40% of NT daily behavior is habitual. These learned patterns and routines, once established, are executed automatically by the unconscious mind to save cognitive energy.
​
Emotional Decision Making: Emotions play a profound role in decision-making, often superseding logic. Research indicates that emotions account for 90% or more of decisions, while logic plays a much smaller, secondary role.
​
Cognitive Biases: The NT Human brain uses mental shortcuts, known as cognitive biases, to process information quickly. While efficient, these biases can skew perceptions and lead to irrational judgments or actions without conscious awareness.
​
Automatic Responses: NT Humans often react to situations based on past experiences and ingrained beliefs stored in the subconscious. These automatic responses, shaped by early life experiences, can influence behavior and judgments without their realization. While individuals have the capacity for rational thought, it is generally used only to evaluate or override initial emotional responses, a process that requires significant conscious effort and training.
​
​
​

​
​
A concerning trend in contemporary NT Human society is the prevalence of misinformation and dishonesty. Truthfulness is often met with skepticism, and individuals who prioritize honesty may find themselves marginalized. This societal shift towards accepting deception as a norm can lead to a distrust of those who consistently speak the truth.
​
The normalization of dishonesty can obscure the ethical implications of consistent falsehoods. This divergence in values presents a significant challenge for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome, who often prioritize honesty and direct communication.
The fundamental difference in communication styles, with one group valuing absolute truth and the other tolerating frequent deception, creates significant interpersonal difficulties.
Out of all the great apes, neurotypical NT Humans are the most capable of profound cruelty and savagery. They often mistake technological advancement for moral and evolutionary progress. This is a significant error, as NT Humans have changed very little in an evolutionary or moral sense during their 160,000 years on this planet. Indeed, 160,000 years is but a blink of an eye in evolutionary terms, and the primitive, cruel side of the NT Human regularly rears its ugly head. In movies, communication with aliens is usually achieved by means of some amazing technology. This idea rests on the false assumption that all languages have a single conceptual foundation. In reality, any advanced, empathic alien species would not be interested in the human species in its present form. They would not want communication and interaction purely because a species had achieved technological advancement, but rather on the premise that it had evolved with a generic empathy—which, at present, humans lack
​
​
In 2019, it was estimated that there were approximately 320,000 homeless individuals in the UK, representing roughly 1 in every 201 people. Despite their extreme vulnerability, homeless individuals are frequently subjected to violence and exploitation. As with other marginalized groups, this vulnerability is often perceived by the majority as a weakness, which can trigger acts of primitive aggression. A recent and harrowing example involved a homeless person being assaulted, resulting in a broken jaw.
​
Such acts of violence raise serious questions about the depth of societal compassion and the ability of NT Humans to address the needs of the truly vulnerable. It prompts a necessary reflection: would a truly benevolent society ignore or perpetuate the suffering of those in most need? This incident serves as a stark example of the visceral violence faced by the marginalized in our society.

Another example of the depraved behavior of NT humans occurred recently. A police officer in San Antonio, Texas, was placed on indefinite suspension in October 2016 after fellow officers accused him of placing dog feces on a slice of bread and offering it to a homeless person. In 2020, news emerged that he is set to keep his job.
​
This is a classic example of the dark behavior possible in NT humans. It is truly shocking. Such an individual exhibits traits commonly associated with a sociopathic or psychopathic personality. The message this sends to the public after such a horrid act is clear: the system will protect its own even when they violate the most basic standards of human decency. It is sickening that he is permitted to resume his duties as if nothing happened.

A Human / Chimpanzee, Gorilla Intelligence Comparison..
An amusing event occurred recently involving a star of the popular UK TV show The Chase. Anne Hegerty, known for her high IQ and her journey with Asperger’s Syndrome, participated in an intelligence test against a chimpanzee. While Anne and the audience were shocked when the chimpanzee won, I was not surprised at all. Due to failings in education and a general misunderstanding of evolution, we have been misled into believing we are superior to other great apes. The reality is that we are not.
Anne Hegerty
The famous gorilla named Koko, who learned a basic version of sign language, was submitted to various intelligence tests and obtained scores ranging from 70 to 90. Based on those results, she could be classified in the 'Lower Normal' range (70 to 90). This further proves that the cognitive gap between humans and our primate cousins is far narrower than most people care to admit.

The Collective Mass Hallucination of a Moral Reality..
Modern-day NT humans, with a seemingly generic lack of empathy for other species, are guilty of wiping out most of the other biped great apes before them: Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus, Homo floresiensis, Homo naledi, etc. These unempathetic, ruthless traits that caused these extinctions are still deeply rooted in modern-day NT humans and are very visible in everyday interactions. Contemporary society exhibits a trend toward prioritizing personal narratives over factual accuracy. This shift often results in a culture where truth is undervalued and power structures are swayed by nepotism and social inequality. Frequently, the media perpetuates narratives that diverge from factual evidence, creating a disconnect between perceived reality and lived experience. This environment appears to prioritize the interests of the wealthy, raising urgent concerns about equitable decision-making and individual agency. Walter Lippmann’s concept of the "bewildered herd" describes this dynamic perfectly: public opinion is managed to facilitate decision-making by an elite few.
​
The political system often leans toward self-serving behavior, with those in power shaping laws and financial markets to their own advantage. This aligns with Sheldon Wolin’s "inverted totalitarianism," where control is exerted through the anonymity of the corporate state. This influence permeates media, finance, and banking. Furthermore, the emphasis on hyper-individualism within capitalism contributes to a decline in social cohesion. Various strategies are used to divert public attention from systemic inequality, such as promoting escapism through entertainment and consumerism. By fostering a focus on individual gratification, the importance of community and solidarity is diminished.
​
Ultimately, the system cultivates a pervasive, calculated optimism to maintain public passivity. While appearing democratic, this structure can effectively limit citizen agency, transforming individuals into commodities for exploitation. A culture of illusion is maintained, suggesting that all desires are attainable regardless of reality. Disseminated through various channels, this message encourages a state of perpetual illusion that can hinder personal growth and leave aspirations forever unfulfilled.
A significant societal challenge lies in the collective difficulty to acknowledge systemic flaws or to understand the motivations behind our current power structures. This lack of insight, coupled with a widespread ignorance of the system’s underlying mechanics, hinders the potential for meaningful change toward a more equitable and compassionate society. Furthermore, there is a discernible trend of corporate influence over culture, journalism, and critical thinking. Individuals who offer critical perspectives are often marginalized or dismissed, as the culture tends to prefer curated, optimistic narratives over realistic assessments.
In the United Kingdom, a society defined by capitalist structures and persistent concerns regarding nepotism, individuals experiencing homelessness now face fines, arrests, and prosecutions. These punitive measures persist despite the clear systemic issues that contribute to homelessness in the first place. Law enforcement agencies in England and Wales continue to utilize the Vagrancy Act of 1824 to prosecute individuals for begging and rough sleeping. This legislation not only predates the establishment of modern police forces, but it also remains in use despite being widely criticized as an archaic response to a complex social crisis.
Beneath the publicly presented image of this capitalist system lies a strong emphasis on hedonism. This is manifested in a relentless drive for consumerism, pleasure-seeking, and self-indulgence. The system actively promotes the pursuit of wealth, often with little regard for the ethical means of its acquisition.
​
This emphasis on wealth accumulation can overshadow ethical considerations, and questionable practices are often overlooked. Many corporate entities, despite projecting an image of integrity, engage in unethical behavior. For example, HSBC Bank, a major financial institution, was implicated in money laundering for drug cartels. This resulted in a relatively small fine from the justice system, which raises serious concerns about the influence of financial interests on regulatory bodies.
The minimal fine imposed on HSBC, which was easily absorbed by executive bonuses, highlights a significant disparity in accountability between corporate entities and individuals. While corporations may face limited consequences for major transgressions, individuals are often subject to the stringent enforcement of minor regulations. This reflects a clear double standard in the application of legal and regulatory frameworks.
​
The culture of consumerism, centered on individual acquisition and self-gratification, can be seen as inherently narcissistic. The pursuit of happiness through material possessions fosters a self-focused mindset that potentially undermines social bonds. Hyper-individualism, a key component of corporate capitalism, reinforces this dynamic. Historical examples, such as the displacement of indigenous populations, reflect a conflict between these competing value systems. This focus on material acquisition can lead to a sense of detachment and a preoccupation with personal possessions, at times resembling dystopian scenarios. Ultimately, this raises vital concerns about the role of consumerism in shaping social interactions and individual expression.
​
Establishing rational communication with many neurotypical (NT) individuals can be challenging, as they often exhibit a tendency towards fixed beliefs and a focus on material pursuits. This perspective suggests a potential influence of societal and corporate messaging on individual perceptions and behaviors.

A very relevant segment taking from the book 'The Empire of Illusion' by Chris Hedges.
“The cult of self dominates our cultural landscape. This cult has within it the classic traits of psychopaths: superficial charm, grandiosity, and self-importance; a need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception, and manipulation, and the inability to feel remorse or guilt. This is, of course, the ethic promoted by corporations. It is the ethic of unfettered capitalism. It is the misguided belief that personal style and personal advancement, mistaken for individualism, are the same as democratic equality. In fact, personal style, defined by the commodities we buy or consume, has become a compensation for our loss of democratic equality. We have a right, in the cult of the self, to get whatever we desire. We can do anything, even belittle and destroy those around us, including our friends, to make money, to be happy, and to become famous. Once fame and wealth are achieved, they become their own justification, their own morality. How one gets there is irrelevant. Once you get there, those questions are no longer asked.”― Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle

Here is a interesting post I found recently on a Aspergers Forum where a NT Human asked if people with Aspergers Syndrome feel selfishness.
The reply is abrupt & very telling of a person with Aspergers Syndrome, but the question in the first place is also sadly typical of the ignorance of NTHumans & their perception of conditions that they simply don't have the ability to understand.
The Question 'Do people with Aspergers Syndrome feel selfishness?'
​
The Answer 'I wont bother to even interpret your question the way you want, I’ll answer what I decoded. My answer & the best I can give right now: My daily existence is a constant & cold education in how to ignore the needs of other people in favour of my own needs. How to impose my values on someone else, to that person’s detriment. All the while not caring about the harm I could be causing someone. Yep, I know what being selfish is, society has taught me very well. I just refuse to be what I would need to become to be able to do this to another person. I know how much it hurts when you are on the receiving end. And being on the receiving end, so many damned & painful times is how I know selfishness. Does this answer your question? To be honest, I’m too mentally exhausted by humans today to care if I did. Hey wait a second, is that selfish?'
Devoid of Introspection most NT Humans don't realize that selfishness is now an innate part of NT Human behaviour & has become a 'social norm'. Born without or little Theory of Mind the Aspergers Brain has learnt the selfishness & has learnt to mimic these traits from the NT Humans though it does not come natural to us to act in such a way.
Recently a young person with Aspergers Syndrome wrote on a post online 'We Aspies are trapped on an obscure planet with a brutal primitive species (NT Humans) that we cant understand nor can we relate to any logical beneficial rational way.' Very apt i would say.
It is crucial to recognize that different neurotypes may share information with varying intentions. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome often share information driven by a genuine interest in the facts themselves, with no ulterior motives beyond the dissemination of knowledge.
Conversely, neurotypical individuals may share information for a variety of reasons beyond simple exchange. These motives can include gaining leverage, eliciting specific responses, or enhancing social status. This fundamental difference in intent can frequently lead to significant misunderstandings.
​
While individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome generally operate without hidden agendas, neurotypical individuals may project their own interpretations and intentions onto the information shared. This often leads to misinterpretations and the potential exploitation of the information provided.

Communication for people with Aspergers Syndrome is for exchanging facts! For NT Humans however it’s merely a tool for social dominance & manipulation. They cast webs of deceit and yet more lies in a vain attempt to cover up the initial falsehood. While some psychologists believe that lying is driven by reward and gain on an evolutionary level, I believe it is actually about protecting the human ego in a flawed and maladaptive way. Neurotypical individuals are socially conditioned to view the admission of guilt as a failure. In reality, the admission of wrongdoing is a strength and a virtue, as it is the foundation of wisdom.
​
Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome are honest and loyal almost to a fault. They often feel a deep annoyance at the ease with which neurotypical humans lie, a behavior that has become a pervasive social norm. Even when caught in a lie, many will still put all their energy into denial, sometimes even attempting to convince the observer that they are delusional. This suggests that many neurotypical individuals are bound by a restricted perception of reality, unable to rationalize another person's perspective. To those with Asperger’s Syndrome, this society can appear like a "clown show" of lies and sanctimonious sensitivity.
​
This behavior is further fueled by confirmation bias. If a neurotypical individual holds a core belief, they will often twist facts, logic, and evidence to fit that belief. This, coupled with tribal affiliation and in-group psychology, makes unbiased objectivity nearly impossible for them. New information is either ignored or distorted to protect the existing belief. For those with Asperger’s Syndrome, this is a form of delusion that stops the flow of important information.
​
Being innately self-focused, many neurotypical individuals view the world through a primitive lens where everything is a threat or a competition. They often lie to themselves to protect their ego, creating a warped reality where the truth is frowned upon. This makes the world a hostile place for those with Asperger’s Syndrome, who need to speak the truth. It is unnerving that many are unaware of their own primitive and emotionally illiterate nature.
​
Ultimately, humanity appears unready for the neurodiversity found in people with Asperger’s Syndrome. With self-actualization often unachievable and an innate intolerance of difference, the current conceptual framework does not allow for true acceptance. Until humans evolve past these primate behaviors, those with differences will face a difficult journey. As Bertrand Russell noted, most people go through life with beliefs that have no rational justification, as their opinions are designed to make them feel comfortable rather than to reflect the truth.

Neuro Typical Humans & Pathological Lying..
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs..
His work runs parallel with the understanding of evolution and the developmental stages of growth, which makes it both significant and relevant here. Many modern neurotypical individuals, particularly those of the current generation, appear to be caught in a childlike or infantile state. Maslow’s theory lends weight to the fact that the vast majority of these individuals have never developed to the stage of self-actualization. This specific stage is necessary for both critical thinking and the capacity for abstract thought.
​​
In this state, many individuals exist on what are effectively genetic rails. They blindly follow their DNA code and generic, irrational emotions without the ability to question or understand the world around them in an objective or meaningful way.
In an attempt to alleviate feelings of despair, many neurotypical individuals turn to consumerism. It is argued that education systems in Western countries often do not prioritize critical thinking or the development of higher level needs, such as self-actualization. This can result in a population that is more easily controlled and manipulated, which aligns perfectly with the principles of corporate capitalism. Using consumerism as a means of coping with dissatisfaction can limit the ability of an individual to critically examine societal structures and power dynamics. This cycle of consumption provides only temporary relief while simultaneously benefiting corporate entities.
There is a very common observation among individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome regarding the prevalence of pathological lying in neurotypical humans. Studies have shown that, on average, neurotypical individuals are lied to between 10 and 200 times on any given day. Research also indicates that neurotypical strangers lie an average of three times within the first ten minutes of meeting. This illustrates how pervasive lying has become in modern society.
​
While most neurotypical individuals claim that it is wrong to lie, they often use euphemistic terms like "fibbing" or "white lies" to ease the obvious guilt associated with the act. They sometimes superstitiously cross their fingers out of sight as if to suspend known moral rules. This allows them to judge themselves as being on the right side of communicative history, even though they have insidiously rewritten the rules to suit their immediate social needs.
Maslow's Pyramid of Needs
Sadly, most neurotypical individuals often fail to grasp the theory of mind of a person with Asperger’s Syndrome. They frequently interpret information shared by a neurodivergent person as boasting, or they imply an insidious motive for providing the facts.
​
They think this way because they are restricted by their own perception of reality. Because they would only share such information to gain social leverage or status, they cannot imagine or understand why someone would share knowledge simply for the sake of the information itself. This clearly demonstrates the warped nature of the neurotypical mind and serves as a significant impediment to the free spread of knowledge and truth.
​​
Why don't NT Humans seem to care about being Un-sincere?
Neurotypical individuals generally do not perceive everyday social pleasantries as insincere because these interactions are understood as a form of social currency. This currency serves to maintain social harmony, show goodwill, and build relationships, rather than to serve as a literal statement of absolute truth. For most people, communication exists on two levels, which are the literal content and the emotional or social intent.
​
Maintaining Goodwill and Harmony-
​
Social conventions such as asking how someone is or offering a small compliment are primarily about expressing care and a desire for positive connection. These interactions are designed to be soothing and to establish a baseline of positive regard. Neurotypical communication relies heavily on subtext, tone of voice, and body language to convey meaning. In this framework, the exact words are often less important than the underlying message of maintaining a functional relationship.
Social Protocol vs. Deceit-
​
What a person with Asperger’s Syndrome might experience as masking or performing due to the dissonance with their internal feelings, a neurotypical person views as simply following expected social protocols. They may not feel a breach of integrity because their brains are conditioned to prioritize social cohesion over unvarnished factual honesty. They often prefer a curated version of the truth that is mindful of feelings and the social situation. In essence, the difference lies in a set of conflicting communication priorities. Most individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome prioritize direct, factual honesty and authenticity, while neurotypical individuals prioritize social tact and relational harmony. The figures regarding the motives of neurotypical humans and the reasons for their friendships speak for themselves.
The official figures on the motives of NT Humans & the reasons for their friendships speak for themselves!
5–10% reliably kind (introspective, self-correcting, empathy-led)
75–85% conditionally kind (context, ego, mood, benefit driven)
10–15% consistently harmful or exploitative
The Hard Wiring of the Aspergers Brain..
These traits are crucial for progress but are often unrecognized or undervalued in modern society, which prioritizes status, charisma, and emotional manipulation over genuine intelligence and honesty.
The Problem with a Neurotypical-Dominated World he says -
Most people prioritize emotion over logic – They react rather than think critically.
Consumerism has replaced meaning – People chase material possessions instead of real knowledge, growth, or truth.
Ego-driven behaviors dominate – Status, power, and manipulation matter more than integrity and intelligence.
Society rejects deep thinkers – Many Aspies are alienated because they don’t fit into the neurotypical system of social games, shallow communication, and emotional validation-seeking.
​
If the world valued logic, honesty, and true intelligence, individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome would thrive. The problem remains that neurotypical humans run a system which is essentially a culture of mendacity and social inequality. They build societies that benefit their own social structures rather than the needs of deep thinkers. One of the primary gifts of the Asperger’s condition is known as hyper-systemizing. This is a cognitive style defined as an intense drive to analyze, construct, or understand systems by identifying "if-then" patterns and rules. It involves a high level focus on detail and a reliance on predictability to manage complex information.
​
This cognitive style allows many of us to scan faces and identify character traits within the facial structure itself. This provides a profound insight into character, a link which has been validated over the last decade through modern scanners and science. Research has increasingly demonstrated a direct connection between facial structure and specific character traits. For the hyper-systemizing mind, the human face is not just a social mask but a complex system of data that can be read with precision and objectivity.

Neurological differences exist between individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and neurotypical individuals, extending far beyond a simple lack of theory of mind. These differences manifest in varying degrees of cognitive and sensory processing. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome often exhibit enhanced analytical abilities compared to their neurotypical peers. To compensate for challenges in social understanding, sensory perception, including hearing, taste, smell, and touch, is often significantly heightened.
​
In the Asperger's brain, the Amygdala, which is the part of the brain responsible for processing threats, often overreacts or misfires. This leads individuals with the condition to be overly reactive to perceived threats, whether they are physical or stem from social interactions with neurotypical humans. This overactivity is a major cause of the deep rooted, lifelong anxiety suffered by many. However, by engaging the frontal neocortex, it is possible to rewire the brain to react to threats in a different way. This is neuroplasticity in action, though it is incredibly difficult to implement when the body is already flooded with adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol.
​
In addition to sensory differences, cognitive and analytical abilities also differ. Many individuals with Asperger’s or ASD are drawn to fields such as computer programming and game development, where they often demonstrate self-taught expertise. The heightened sensory sensitivity is particularly notable in relation to light, sound, and touch. For example, a recent television program demonstrated this sensitivity when a high frequency sound, intended only for canine hearing, was perceived by both the dogs and an individual with Asperger’s. The neurotypical individual in the same room did not perceive the sound at all.
​
Brain scans clearly show physical differences in the brains of NT
Humans when compared to people with Aspergers Syndrome. NT
Humans have 10x more powerful Broca's Area.
So NT Humans have better social skills as mimicry, interaction and
communication, they also have better motor skills at object grasping
& manipulation.
People with Aspergers Syndromes are more awkward, clumsy &
eccentric, have poor social context comprehension & are less
influenced by the social environment.
However people with Aspergers Syndrome have 10x more powerful
brain's in Brodmann areas related with visual-spatial intelligence.
The Asperger’s brain operates primarily from the frontal neocortex, which is the center for logic and reasoning. In contrast, neurotypical brains are often governed by the limbic system, which is centered on emotion and reaction. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome often demonstrate enhanced performance on tests such as Raven’s Progressive Matrices. This reflects a heightened ability to perceive intricate details, which is highly advantageous in fields requiring precise analytical skills such as engineering, design, architecture, physics, and mathematics.
​
The reduced emphasis on ego protection in individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome frees up cognitive resources. This allows for focused attention on complex subjects and tasks, potentially exceeding the capabilities of many neurotypical individuals. This dynamic allows for a level of clarity and objectivity in perception that is rare in the general population.
While the Asperger’s brain demonstrates a strong inclination toward logical thinking, this can sometimes be overwhelming. Verbal communication can be challenging because it requires significant cognitive effort, often resulting in filtered or fragmented expression. This creates a bottleneck effect that limits the outward expression of complex internal thought processes. Consequently, individuals with Asperger’s may excel in fields that minimize reliance on verbal communication, such as science, art, and computer game development.
​
Decision making and logical reasoning in the Asperger’s brain are driven by information and evidence. This stands in stark contrast to the influence of emotions and feelings that guide neurotypical individuals. The targeting of individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome due to an intolerance of difference reflects societal biases rather than any inherent flaws in the individual. Some academics, such as Professor Tony Attwood, propose that Asperger’s Syndrome may represent an evolutionary advancement. It is theorized that characteristics associated with Asperger’s are not developmental deficits, but rather the byproducts of advanced mental processing and genetic mutations that play a role in human evolution.

Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome do care what others think of them. They want friends and they want to be accepted. The difficulty arises because they operate under a different value system. Neurotypical humans instinctively value status within a hierarchy, a trait rooted in their primitive evolutionary psychology. They are often careful to dress to impress and cultivate relationships with specific people, which frequently includes associating only with those who possess a similar or higher social status. In their world, appearance and relationships with peers or superiors are highly valued, accompanied by a complex set of social behaviors.
​
In contrast, individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome value facts and objective truths. People are judged on their behavior rather than their status or similarity to the group. Additionally, individuals with Asperger’s often have a high baseline of anxiety and sensory sensitivity. This leads to stress relieving behaviors known as stims. To a neurotypical individual, these behaviors flag the person as different, which is often viewed negatively. However, those with Asperger’s need these stims to manage the excess stress and sensations they experience. They cannot stop these behaviors without feeling significantly unwell or overstimulated.
​
Generally, people with Asperger’s Syndrome do not see the point of status cultivation because it is not an instinctual drive for them. They may not see the logic in buying a luxury vehicle when an older car still functions perfectly. This reflects a priority on factual value over social signaling. Furthermore, individuals with Asperger’s are not instinctively obsessed with complying with the arbitrary rules of a social group. To them, what matters is the truth rather than the agreed opinion of the collective. While they want to be accepted and respected for who they are, they remain fundamentally different in a social system that is built on the cultivation of safe and comfortable similarities.

Do people with Aspergers Syndrome not care of what others think of them?
Is Aspergers Syndrome actually the next step forward in Human Evolution?
Professor Tony Attwood has suggested that Aspergers Syndrome represents an evolutionary step forward stating -
Logic over emotion – Aspies prioritize facts, reason, and truth over ego-driven decision-making.
Honesty and directness – No manipulation, no unnecessary social games.
Deep introspection and critical thinking – Unlike neurotypicals, Aspies analyze everything, including their own thoughts and biases.
Less susceptibility to herd mentality – They don’t blindly follow social trends, media manipulation, or emotional influence.
​
Many academics, such as Professor Tony Attwood, have suggested that Asperger’s Syndrome could actually represent the next step forward in human evolution. When examining the psychological differences between the Asperger's mind and the neurotypical mind, this theory gains significant weight. Being controlled by the ego, confirmation biases, and irrational emotions without the capacity for self-regulation is a major compromise to logical and rational thinking. The Asperger’s mind is fundamentally different because it lacks the same ego driven distortion of objectivity.
​
For the most part, through full introspection, emotions and feelings can be analyzed and controlled rather than simply reacted upon. There are times when individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome may lose control, usually due to sensory overload or the arduous daily task of interacting with neurotypical individuals. However, for the most part, people with Asperger’s possess a deep level of introspection. This can be problematic when one is surrounded by others who possess little or no self-awareness. Regardless, a step away from the primitive primate ego that controls the majority of the population is a significant leap forward in the evolutionary process.
The biological reality of these differences can be seen in the structure of the neurons themselves. When comparing a neurotypical brain to an Asperger's brain, the latter can show up to four times the amount of synapses. This significant increase in synaptic density explains how the Asperger's brain processes information with such intensity and depth. It provides a physical basis for the vast differences in how data is perceived and analyzed.
​
The combination of heightened senses and an increased number of synapses leads to a lack of filters on incoming information. This can render a person with Asperger’s feel effectively overwhelmed. Sensory overload becomes a frequent occurrence because the brain is constantly attempting to process a torrent of information that it cannot possibly manage.
This biological reality may also explain why many individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome become more introverted with age. They may choose to withdraw from neurotypical society not only to remain safe from predatory or unstable behaviors, but also to find necessary respite. Without this withdrawal, the constant state of sensory overload makes meltdowns an inevitable consequence of existing in a world that provides no filter for their hyper-connected minds.
Brain Scan comparing the Aspergers Brain & NT Human
A brilliant video from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer who describes perfectly how the Aspergers Mind works & all the short comings that come with having a mind that does not stop analyzing.
A Brilliant Response to a rather flawed question..
Recently an obvious NT Human wrote into an Aspergers Forum asking ' Why do autistic people act so weirdly?'
The reply was brilliant & sums up humanity & NT Humans up perfectly.
"Since when being honest, telling the truth, always saying what you mean, not hallucinating hidden meanings that have never been said or implied, not needing ego strokes every few minutes, not placing your sense of self-worth in external things such as other people's approval and in arbitrary, shallow things such as status and money, not manipulating others for your own benefits, making decisions based on rationality and critical thinking rather than based on irrational feelings and emotions and insecurities is weird??
You neuro-typical people are weird, and the only reason you're not classified as having an unusual type of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is because you are the ones that write the DSM and your egos are way too big to have the objectivity to see yourself for what you really are. You all think you're perfect, but you as a demographic are single handedly responsible of abusing, torturing, and even killing billions of autistic and other neuro-divergent and disabled people throughout at least the last 5 or 6 millennia of human history not to mention wrecking the planet & its ecosystem."
Individuals with Asperger's Syndrome often demonstrate specific cognitive strengths, including the ability to visualize and manipulate three-dimensional space. This can be advantageous in fields involving spatial reasoning, such as the use of computer game engine editors, as illustrated by the screenshot of the game editor used to make my second game 'The Gate II'.
The following videos illustrate the sensory experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum. One video demonstrates how a typical environment, such as a shopping center, can present an overwhelming sensory overload. The second video provides an example of heightened sensory perception often experienced by individuals with the Aspergers Syndrome condition.
Ok onwards and upwards & if you are still here & managed to suppress your cognitive dissonance from the first page then my hat goes off to you, you are the 5% of NT Humans that actually know what it is & have the ability to control it. It's not easy hearing the truth, even harder tolerating it. Enjoy the rest of the site!
