We can find special interests and dig down deep, become experts, and help a lot of people

Except when we are prevented. My PhD program insisted I not specialize. I then got kicked out. What a perfect example of NT ignorance.

Why? I gave a girl a B+ and she complained to HR: apparently this made me a racist/sexist. Next, I turned down a girl I thought was weird so she labeled me a stalker. Finally, I revealed that I was covering for a late teacher until she got to class, when my skin was on the line; she unloaded a gossip bomb on my boss. All lies. (I never once tried to hang out with the girl off campus and my best friends were African, one a woman; the one who turned out to betray me.) I was attacked from all sides, including my teachers', and then basically told I am the one with problems. What ubiquitous pathological narcissism.

The system is dysfunctional. The bottom of the pyramid is a propeller than churns the subordinates so the superiors can stay afloat the mess. The imperative to generalize is the imperative to abandon your sense of self. Only people in a web of money can do this. And you can't have money if people don't like you. So, you have to be liked even in order to be treated like you don't matter. For us, we simply do not exist.
