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?
Could a moderator please just remove this thread.
It was not my intentions to upset anyone, nor become upset.
Perhaps it would be best if the thread just got removed and i will leave everyone in peace.
Many thanks

Sorry it wasn't a one way street. I hope your fragile ego isn't too bruised.
“It seems i have upset people on this forum.
I apologise for this and it was not my intention.
I will not bother anyone here again.”
We will see if he keeps his word.
I for one will not be holding my breath, his light keeps coming on?
It could just be someone who has been told he is autistic and is in denial?
could be he has been badly effected by someone who was autistic?
I encountered an individual like this once, it was st work, someone I knew and had a lot of respect for.
He basically told me I had no right to think let alone say I was autistic! And that I needed to shut up,
i got upset, overwhelmed, shouted at him, said “DO NOT tell me who I am or not! How dare you tell me to shut up. “
turned out he has a nephew with severe autism, he likes him a lot. So seeing me apparently getting on with life was to him an insult to his nephew!
He could not begin to think I was autistic, to him I was taking the pee by stating I was autistic.
I had a major melt down that day, my first big one, I screamed whilst I was driving home, cried, bawled, but I still forgave him in my own mind,
He has since requested me above all others to assist him on a job. He was ok... maybe someone took him aside and explained that not all autistic people are the same?
Some things aren't worth making sense of. He could want attention, he could just want to make people feel like ***, he could have questions, he could suspect he is Autistic, lots of things we could ponder.
He basically tried to *** with everyone who answer him honestly. Seeing this I couldn't really waste time caring about his reasons.
Some things deserve effort and attention. Some things reach a point where there is no point.
I must sign off soon, but I vote this up because this (last parts) was towards what I was thinking, Sir. I wanted a reply to what I wrote. (It is 3AM now, but I think this significant... maybe...)
