So the one area of NT life I have most issue with, outside of sensitivities & social issues which we often discuss, are Taboos.
So, there exists many things in society that aren't consider 'acceptable'. They are said to be widely accepted as being unacceptable, but no one talks about them, and I suspect nearly everyone takes part in them at some point?
I was wondering what Taboos you have witnessed, that you think need to be said out loud, or that people don't admit but you know goes on?
