Hi all,
Non ASD people seem to struggle with my abruptness and straightforwardness in my emails. I’m told they come across as aggressive and cold and can be upsetting. I don’t see it that way at all no matter how many times I read and rewrite. It also causes issues in my professional life too. I'm thinking of adding an email disclaimer saying I’ve ASD and to make allowances and responses should be short and sweet.
has anyone else done this? Is it a good idea? Or am I just opening myself to hassle?
thanks x
they don't care that you did not intend it to be aggressive, and they will insist that they are anyway
misinterpretation will happen anyway, because there is no law prohibiting it
try one of formal ways of speaking, e.g. like lawyers
Except in a work context, if you have made them aware, they should adjust...
Without knowing about the ASD, yeah, of course they interpret that way.
