I’m an autistic man too!

I’ve had a few situations where some part of human behaviour suddenly clicked due to an explanation. Specifically small talk (it’s a probe used to gauge mood and willingness to communicate) and flirting (is deliberately vague in order to provide a socially acceptable way to reject someone without actually rejecting them, which seems purposely designed to be difficult for autistic folks).

Are there any similar social concepts that clicked for you? And could you share them?

Also, how would you say being autistic has affected your writing, if at all?

Try not deliberately interpreting everything as negatively as possible. You'll be happier.

The person you attacked was so obviously not thinking that, they were clearly explaining how other people might see it.

The measure of a person is how they treat their enemies. “All bets are off” is the exact justification that actual nazis used for their actions. Have some moral standards.

You're a damn hero. Are there others like you that you've been in contact with? Do you think there's any real chance at good winning out here? Have you encountered any tankies inside?

To clarify. I work with computers. I just don't yet have the in depth knowledge of them and there is so much information that I don't even know where to start.
