Do non Autistics intuitively "know" how to act and communicate?

NAS39246

I read on this website that "Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, but Autistics do not", but believe this statement to be completely untrue in so many ways.

I do not believe that there is any one way to interact and communicate and nor do i believe anyone, even non autistic could possibly be thought of as someone that "knows" how to act and communicate in every given situation.

I believe making wrong statements like this just causes confusion.

Would do you think?

Do you think there are people out there that just intuitively "know" how to act and communicate? In that case, what happens when they come across someone that has more experience and is more intelligent than them?

  • May I ask why you asked the question in the first place?

    Have you any connection with autism?

    Do you need to try and understand what autism is for any particular reason?

    You come across as dismissive of how autistic individuals deal with social interaction. 

    And you have no authority or understanding to tell someone they do not come across as autistic because you have had autistic people in your taxi. Does driving people who happen to be autistic in your taxi make you an expert on them?

    Maybe the autistic people using your service cannot drive?

     I can and have since I was old enough to take my test. I do not present as you think I should.

     I appear to function ok, but beneath the calm looking exterior there are many issues which I do not feel the urge to discuss with you.

    I have no idea why you came here? What do you hope to achieve from this.

     Are you or have you been effected in some way by someone who is autistic.

     By the way,,,,I don’t think football is a good game,
