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

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.

  • Hi excuse a late response since the last post i made alot of real life stuff as i'm sure you all know. Payed Tax and NI the last ten years need a neet of support now and the hastle makes me wonder why i ever bothered working.

    Excuse the rant. As far as the question i personally can't say that i'd be more undersanding of someone on the spectum as ive not met anyone, or anyone thats informed of them being on the spectrum.

    I too wonder why people get to close while speaking to you then proceed to follow you, though might i please suggest Marjorie195 instead of ending up in the road i normally end up going in circles instead.

    And mags66 caps are fine for me to read and look abit different. I remember watching an old Top gear years ago and it was mentioned that the reason road signs were in upper and lower case was because this was most easly identifided by the Humen eye which is important when travelling at speed..
