> At least two commentators have theorized that disagreement is seen as an existential threat to their narcissistic egos. Yeah, that explains the leftists. The *cough cough* other type who get triggered and shower you with ad hominims when you disagree it's because people with autism have trouble understanding other people's point of view. To them, the world is black and white and if you don't see it exactly as they do, then you *must* be dishonest- must be lying. I have a cousin with aspergers. You can talk to her and she will admit that she puts words in people's mouth, and has beliefs about what they think that are false. She recognizes that there are other perspectives, but every single time you disagree with her it's an assault on her conception of the world. *This* time, she's sure that she's right and the rest of the (normally thinking world) is wrong and even if she's aspy as hell, *this* time is different. You want to see a wild ride of awkward and sad? Get two aspy people who disagree to talk to one another. The sperging devolves quickly. Each one is 100% certain that his particularly skewed interpretation of events is factual and anyone who disagrees must be dishonest. I'm generally against corporal punishment, but can't help but think if they had just been spanked enough when sperging, at least they could learn to keep it to themselves. I don't mind spectrum people as long as they have some sort of self awareness enough to pause and realize maybe they're having an aspy reaction and should chill.
