I've mentioned this before to my gp as I seem blind to hierarchy, race, sex etc.
I dont notice how people dress and suffer face blindness quite badly.
I'll talk to everyone as equals. This helped me once in keeping fans away from a boy band once when I worked on the ferries as quite honest I didnt know the band do why would I pester them.
I also remembering a colleague saying oh you've met 'insert nicknsme' I said did I? They said yes he has a beard and dresses in womens clothing. I completely didnt notice yet to others they see it as something to talk about or be interested in.
I'm wondering am I the only one like this? I'll talk to anyone as equal no matter who they are. Is this not the right thing to do? I've just been called a racist as I admited this to someone with asd. I explained that I cant see race, gender etc I can try but frustratingly im blind. I had to block this person as she was abusive over my honest statement. Is it offensive to be blind as I see it as a possitive as I dont pre judge a person based on these things, I'll treat them as equal unless they do something nasty to me and that would have to be pretty bad as I'm too placid and cant always see things that are sneaky
aahhh i have always seen everyone as equal and have treated my superiors at work as such, i have been told i cross the line and it has caused problems and i get in trouble a lot. Now that i am aware that i think the way i do probably because of my AS, i now have to ask myself "how would an NT behave" (in a professional context) as to keep my job
to be honest, everyone is equal to me personally we just have different variables of experience and knowledge
when it comes to colour, race, culture and gender i am not blind, i see the division in these things so i try to make extra effort to make us all less segregated.
