Do you just assume autistic cause people are weird?
Not every autistic person is bad at social. And as an actual autistic person who wouldn’t dream of acting like that, I take offense to people dubbing everything they find odd or socially unacceptable as autism.
Oh, okay then. Sorry for getting defensive, I just see this kind of thing a lot. And I know that people are quick to label social difficulties as autism, so it gets kinda of tiring that people generally label everything out of the ordinary as being autism.
Question, if you don’t mind.
Does not being able to interpret others emotions make you anxious or avoid talking to people?
I’m oddly hypersensitive to others emotions, which can be pretty tiring in itself actually. So I’m curious how it affects someone who isn’t.
I was using odd as a catchall term, plus I was tired and couldn’t think of better phrasing. And I was using it to try and question why is it generally a common thing to label something as autism just because it isn’t a socially ‘acceptable’ response.
Non autistic people can be just as socially inept. And not every autistic person is socially inept. So it’s just tedious seeing a lot of stuff labelled as autism, when it could be a plethora of other things.
Yeah sure, but those patterns are super clear and obvious to someone who’s not autistic. You probably do just a lot of non autistic stuff being labeled that way by dumb people hooked on the new buzzword though.
anon finds out they are autistic
Or it is time to have that ADHD diagnosed.
I seriously hope you’re joking around.
Why? Dude is probably actually autistic.

It’s probably because you’re autistic that you only think of this as odd and not for the specific case being presented.
