This is why all my friends are neurologically atypical.
Not to insult any neurotypicals reading this- it's just so much easier when everyone involved expects things to be stated explicitly, and when something upsetting happens, everyone assumes that you didn't mean it, there's been a misunderstanding somewhere, let's explain our side to each other, adjust our expectations, and move forward.
I second this. It's a relief to be able to talk with other people and not worry about all the social performances we're expected to keep up around neurotypicals. I can just say the things I'm trying to say and if I stumble with my words, everyone still gets my meaning. Nobody's going to take an innocent comment as an insult, just because my tOnE oF vOiCe was "off." Don't feel like making eye contact? Awesome, I don't either! If you want, we can have a full, rich conversation about our shared special interests, all while looking at literally anything except each other.
