Part of the problem for Autistic people

Roswell

The official advice given to Autistic people on how to socialise is lacking. Psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses etc. operate within a politically correct environment where they can lose their jobs for behaving as the general public do.

For example it may be the case that engaging in a certain kind of blokey humour that wouldn't be accepted in a medical environment is key to men making friends. 

Anyone else thought about this?

  • Honestly? I think "a certain kind of blokey humour" is probably not acceptable these days full stop...

    The moves against 'toxic masculinity' plus zero-tolerance on sexist behaviour combined with the tendency of atypicals not to know where the boundaries lie probably mean that avoiding 'blokey humour' in any situation is best.

    There must be another way to become accepted?
