Quick Thoughts: "You're an Idiot!"

This is going to be a short entry because there is a thought that just won't stop racing through my head for the past few days. I'll share it here. Maybe someone else can comment or clarify. Consider this a fun day for the entries.

As an Aspergian, there are concepts that just don't make sense to me. Why is it a social faux pas to tell someone they're an idiot, but it's not a social faux pas to be an idiot? It seems Aspies get in trouble a lot when the idiot should be getting into trouble.

Maybe it's just a quirk with neurotypicals. Sometimes I wonder if Aspies are a window into reason, that maybe neurotypicals should stop and consider that if Aspies are driven by reason and less by emotion then they (the neurotypical) should ask themselves if an Aspie's opinion is something that they should more closely consider. It seems as if following emotional responses tends to lead to more drama and trouble in life and make things more complicated than is necessary and thus leads to more stress.

It could possibly be more reasonable if people made it a social grace to point out when someone is a dumbass instead of making the Aspie out to be the gorilla in the room for saying what others should have been thinking. Maybe you're providing a service. Some people are too dense or full of themselves to understand that they're an idiot. Aspies don't mind being told when they're missing something that neurotypicals find absurdly easy to catch in social situations. It seems reasonable that if an Aspie catches something in the social spectrum of behavior then it is so blatantly obvious that something must be wrong with the idiot to not see that they are an idiot.

What do you think?
