@lzg@AutisticAdam@actuallyautistic YES. we generally have great difficulty (at best) with playing allistic social games, and these things tend to keep us at lower-paying jobs (if we can find a job at all). and that includes not just "networking," but also job interviews, masking at customer- or client-facing jobs, and communicating our needs in a way that doesn't offend allistic people.
@AutisticAdam@actuallyautistic "All the clothes and foods you buy that don’t meet your sensory needs and can't be returned or that you can't return" - me, taking a sip of a drink that I didn't read the label for, having my palate coated with a horrid, bitter, medicinal funk, and then finding out that the damn thing has sugar substitutes in it 🥴
