And because our society is set up in a way where we have to put in most of the work to bridge that gap, this just results in a lot of extra baggage for us to deal with, in addition to functioning in the first place.
The only thing I can tell you is that it’s not your fault, and most people don’t intentionally do it, they just don’t know how to handle it, and it’s usually subconscious.
You’re kind of stuck with putting in more effort, but remember, we as people with autism are used to bridging gaps, so we have excellent training and usually a huge amount of patience. Make that your strength. Be persistent and observe, and then you’ll realize what people like and don’t like about you, and that’s how you can make yourself more fun to be around for neueotypicals.
I always think that all of the people with autism have limitations in a lot of regards, but our superpower is that we have way better control over ourselves and if we face tough things, we are so much more intentional and experienced, and that’s what makes is awesome - but in a different way.
