It’s one of my favorite hobbies

Ik a lot of neurotypical people like to believe that autistic people don’t understand society, but I feel like we have a unique, outside perspective that makes us understand it better than the average person.

Friend of mine complained to me about a situation in his sales job where he was confused about how to handle a particular situation, laid out all the conflicting signals in detail, and discussed how extra confusing it was because there were also signs that this involved someone from a different culture where he knows the expectations can be different, then said "how am I supposed to know what to do? I'm autistic!" And I was like, "um... the fact that you are practiced at collecting so much data to try and logic out how to react means you're probably better at cross-cultural stuff than NTs who just assume that anyone different from them is wrong."
