During my counselling session today I mentioned that when I ask an NT something their response appears to me to be in one of two ways:
1. They respond to what I have asked directly, or they attempt to understand what I have asked
Or
2. They believe I am asking the wrong question or am seeing things the wrong way. They believe that I need to change the way I think before they will answer my question.
My counsellor and I both agree the second one of these responses is a result of people being ignorant about Asperger Syndrome, and a result of people being unaware that some people process things differently.
Just thinking about the second one of these responses makes me overcome with sadness.
I wondered if others here also find NTs respond like this?
