Why can't normal people see past the shallow things like outward
appearance/demeanor/stylish clothing and grooming/polished manners and see the
deeper value of people as unique individuals?
Why can't normal people understand that an autistic person can't
always tell whether they're teasing or criticizing?
Why do neurotypical people expect me to put on a facade to spare
their social sensibilities when they won't do a damn thing to spare my sensory
integration sensitivities?
Why do normal people think that their neurotypical instincts to
lie, manipulate, cover eachothers asses, pretend to feel one thing when they
really feel another, are inherently superior ways of relating to the autistic
mode of open honesty and raw feelings?
Why can't normal people just tell the truth--just say what they
mean and mean what they say?
I despise the little white lies. Why do I deserve to be despised
for being unwilling to tell them and unable to detect them?
Why can't normal people believe what I say when I tell them they
are not reading my autistic body language/facial expressions/vocal tones
correctly?
