Autistic people try their best every day to adapt to non-autistic people, exhausting ourselves.

Do non-autistic people ever try to adapt for autistic people?

No offence but your husband shouldn't be doing that.

That would just increase my anxiety.

That's not very supportive at all.

Sorry.

Small talk can be bad for a lot of autistic people because:

It follows rules we don't understand - for example how much information is allowed and what I'd deemed 'too much.'

Yeah I don't tend to do the "I'm fine thanks you ?" Standard response ethier.

What normally tends to happen with me, is I go into a story about my day which really nobody wants to listen to.

@dorgaldir @Uniflame @actuallyautistic

I'm going to try to do that.

Are you actually weird though, or are you quite simply being yourself 🙂👍

@looneybyron @actuallyautistic

That's really good to know 👍

Wish it was like this for me in the 90s.

In the hope one day they will stop linking the two with me.

@guffo @actuallyautistic

I feel this.

@niamhgarvey @actuallyautistic

It's a good call but trying saying that to someone who's not autistic.

AutisticAdam, 10 months ago

@mhoemmen @actuallyautistic

Absolutely.

AutisticAdam, 10 months ago

@alexisbushnell @actuallyautistic

Same.

I simply do worry about it would be my response to that.

I have to look, I can’t settle.

The autistic urge to explain everything fully, so nobody has gaps in their knowledge and needs to ask questions.
