one extreme:

Neurotypical people don’t like autistic people, and would prefer to avoid them to the greatest extent possible.

The other extreme is the way you interpret my statements to mean that I have some delusionally idealistic view of humanity. Reality lies between your overly bleak assessment of average people and the perfectly accepting world you mistakenly attributed to me.

I acknowledge that some people are jerks. However, most people try to get along with people when they interact with them. The people who don't, or who are unusually bad at it are often the neurotypical people.

The word creepy can mean fear or disgust. Frequently in the context of women thinking a guy is a creep, they mean some amount of both. If that's not what you meant, fair enough.

Are you disgusted by fat people, the mentally disabled, or people that aren't beautiful? I don't think that's as normal as you seem to think it is.

There are verifiable prejudices towards overweight people but you make it sound like people can't stand to see them.

Also, don't you think all sorts of self-help groups are self selecting for people with negative experiences?
