> /pol/ is the proof that autists dont have any trouble being social i pretty much flip 4 times a day between thinking autism is a meme diagnosis for ppl who failed society and thinking it's underdiagnosed as fuck and explains so many losers (just like me!) but one thing that makes sense to me is the "double empathy problem" i fucking hate most of the terminology and culture around this stuff so it's hard to research and take seriously but it explains this phenomenon at least. normies think info-based, fact-based, goal oriented conversations are weird or rude. autists think that normies small talk is so fucking boring and useless that it comes off rude or annoying. they want to connect but they don't communicate the same way just kidding what i meant to say was autism is a way for ppl to not feel accountable for fucking up their own lives by not socializing properly
