The most amusing/infuriating (depending on the day) about this for me is how shit most people are at communicating and experiencing things. They spend most of the day on autopilot and do everything off of vibes and feelings. Since that’s not how my brain works I was somewhat forced to learn how to communicate and translate what I am thinking and feeling to something other people can understand and am therefore able to at a moments notice.
Talking to ND people can often feel like talking to children because they can’t answer simple questions about why they think or feel something and just give vague vibe like answers. I’m not entirely convinced that ND people are better at communicating than someone on the spectrum (depending on where they fall on it of course).
I mean, I don’t think it’s fair to say that anyone is better or worse based on their neurotype. ( Please correct me if you didn’t mean that neurotypical communication is inferior!)
That’s kind of my point (I’m OOP). Different modes of communication are equally valid, even if we don’t understand them. It’s easy to fall into this thinking of autists are better at communicating when you’re autistic and have an easier time with other autists, but I don’t think it’s fair.
I wish I remembered where I read this, but I think there’s even studies that neurodivergents (not even just autists) and neurotypicals each communicate very well among themselves, but start having trouble in a mixed group.
