I never heard of this Cleve Blakemore fellow, so I can't comment on him. I can say, though, that I consider the vast majority of NTs (not all) to be utterly shallow and prejudiced, which is quite frustrating. Trying to find an NT to discuss in depth about politics, psychology, philosophy or related topics without them showing any sort of prejudice or without them getting enough of it after half an hour is almost impossible... and if you find one who does enjoy such discussions, they usually lack some basic information (because they filter away a lot of information they incorrectly regard as irrelevant or uninteresting).

If you add this to the fact that many Aspies went through hell in high school for no other reason but not having the necessary social instincts to survive in that jungle, it's quite easy to start hating NTs and becoming so arrogant that you won't even listen to their arguments. I understand that such individuals might frighten you, but you have to understand that it can take quite an effort not to become like that after you've been treated like s*** for years by shallow and prejudiced NTs. I consider myself a very sociable and mentally stable person, but during my last years in high school I was at the virge of snapping. I don't know what I would have been capable of if I actually had snapped.

You're probably right about this when you're referring to the sub-culture of people actually familiar with AS. I'm pretty sure most NTs never even heard of AS to begin with.

I personally wouldn't say that I or Asperger's in general are better than NTs. Like everyone else, Aspies have their flaws and their gifts that seperates them from other mortals. The problem with supremacists is that most of the time they focus on their own gifts and the other's flaws, while they rarely do it the other way around. This creates a feeling of superiority, which often leads to arrogance. It's said, but definitely not a character trait confined to Aspies. I've encountered numerous NTs with similar traits.

I don't think that people with AS should come out as Aspies anywhere besides the Aspie community. The Internet makes many of the Aspie's social flaws irrelevant and allows him to mask his AS much better than in real life. As such, it is the ideal way to socialise with NTs incognito and get to know them in a different way. Aspies might learn that not all NTs are douchebags and they might even find themselves a husband or a wife. When constantly parading with the AS-label all over the Internet, I don't see that happening.

That's rubbish. People have probably been bullying other people since the dawn of man. I'm not sure why MTV has anything to do with it.

The problem is that the mere realisation that those people are idiots easily leads to some sort of supremacism and supremacism combined with bad experiences with other people easily lead to hate.
