Are people with ASDs more tollerant of other autisic people than NTs are?

Marjorie195

I do sometimes wonder if our personal experience of being misunderstood and misinterpreted, makes us more likely to give someone the benefit of the doubt when we are on the receiving end of communications which appear less than tactful.

Are we any good at spotting others on the spectrum?

For a while, I have been encountering a guy who to me appears unfriendly and prickly. These are critisisms which are sometimes levelled at people with asd. It has occured to me, that he may be on the spectrum, but I do not know if I am wasting my time being polite to someone who does not want to be friendly, or just has difficulty with it.

  • No offence taken its makes perfect sence.

    This was mainly at work context that i done this, when i was trying to understand their responses and see and gather more information based upon facial expressions and i thought mabe i could learn more about what they really thought. I never stood to close to anyone male or female as i was always comfortable when people where in or near my personal space.

    One thing thats always anoyed me about people is that they never seem to say what they really think, just give a respone that suits the mood or say something would keep the peace.

    I oftern found that i'd have to be one honest and would say what had to be said which would make me disliked at work, but i didnt mind.
