I was fired because my autistic communication style was deliberately misunderstood by my manager. Yet I've spent a lifetime accommodating neurotypicals by masking. Where are their accommodations? singularinsanity.au/autistic-com... #autism #autisticcommunication

Autistic people may prefer direct communication and find small talk draining.
Directness isn’t rudeness—it’s clarity. Respecting communication styles builds trust and inclusion.

@Rabbit One time I met a small autistic child at the vet and told him I'm autistic too. Then he asked if he could pet the kitten I had with me, and I said yes. When he was done petting her, his mom told him to say thanks, and he thanked the kitten.

Screenshot of a post from Vivian @suchnerve Text reads: Autism advice from non-autistic people: "Just go with the flow, do your best, and be yourself!" Autism advice from autistic people: "So you're gonna get bullied no matter what, but you can minimise the frequency by learning to reverse-engineer what people are actually saying."

Then, when I determined I couldn't, I spent another 3 hours crafting a respectful "I can't" msg, worried that setting the boundary would come off as selfish. 2/3 #autisticcommunication #autisticadults #autisticcommunity

I am genuinely so frustrated by my #autism at times. I spent like 6hrs #anxious because I thought I was being asked last minute to do a task that I don't think I'm capable of doing & trying to figure out how to make it work. 1/3 #actuallyautistic #autisticcommunication

A screenshot of a post by The Atypical Psychologist @at_psychologist Text reads: #Autism is like having another native language. I can speak 'neurotypical' (but with an autistic accent) while the neurotypical person isn't even aware of multiple languages. They classify my accent as a disorder, while I'm the only one speaking both languages.

When something’s confused me, I want to:

1. Figure out *why* things happened the way they did.
2. Find solutions 🎯

And, if I got hurt, I’ll be hesitant about further interactions with that person…

…if I’ve not yet managed to take the two steps above.
