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.

  • I dont like it when people get too close either infact i hate it but for some strange reason when it comes to the cash point machine i worked out (after many years!) that i did stand too close but only really to stop any confusion whether or not i was queing or not. 

    I just wish people could have politely told me instead of looking at me like, well I don't know really but not nice.

    though, now I look back I did overcompensate!

    the capital letters....oh dear! does "that" get me taken the wrong way? oh yes!

    I love words,poems, creative writing, word origins etc and i have always loved them written boldly.Capital letters have a straighter and stronger form.

    I really hoped that this would be the one place i would be able to write in my own way, no rules. then i read the community notes after my first post and thought..........oh no!

    Oooppps

    i find that i forget to use both lower and upper case letters and it makes writing far less pleasurable. so if it's one or the other i choose capitals.

     I have come to the conclusion that,apart from my dad, I am alone with this feeling Surprised

    I absolutely do not understand why anybody would think i am shouting, just don't get it. I will write in lower so I dont offend anyone in this community but that is out of respect and not agreeance that I am shouting at all Innocent

    mind you i will probably forget and offend at some off gaurd moment.Foot in Mouth

    Thankyou for commenting on this though, you have helped me.

    I will try and remember so as not to upset anyone.
