You're not guaranteed to get good interactions or writing from non-autistic people either, but op is too busy feeling like a braincel over their opinion that autistic people can't write.

[tabaqui]

Oh, absolutely. It just seems odd to be complaining about the one thing that most neurodivergent people are...actually known for.

[(Anonymous)]

Can you explain?

[tabaqui]

....??

It seems like a think that many neurodivergent people say about themselves is that they don't understand how non-ND people think/react/act. So complaining that a ND author 'doesn't get how people are' seems...pretty damn weird and kind of pointlessly bitchy.

On the flip side of that though, a lot of us spend our whole lives recognizing that we apparently don't understand how other people think, and therefore work really hard at figuring out what is considered "normal". What people generally consider appropriate behavior, normal mannerisms, etc. so that we can socialize with them with a minimum of awkwardness or accidentally offending them, and interpret what they say or do vs. what they really mean.

Many of us spend A LOT of time puzzling over what is and isn't considered normal human behavior. Some of us get pretty good at mimicking it - especially in contexts where we can go "wait no, that doesn't sound right" and go back and change it. One reason I prefer to socialize online via text.

But it seems like a lot of people think "autistic people don't understand other people" means "autistic people don't understand other people and since they know that's the autism, they don't even try". Which is really the exact opposite of what often happens.
