Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that’s like me. Obviously, that’s not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??

    To me there’s a few general signs, I don’t read into them though. When talking with someone and I need to go, they won’t pick up on social queues that I’m trying to wrap the conversation up and I need to be more direct. Playing board or video games and someone is very meticulously thorough. Having unusual views on sensory things (for example, a friend genuinely thought that mustard and mayo tasted similarly). Just slightly unusual mannerisms that require interacting differently sometimes, usually just being more direct.

      What a ridiculous thing.

      Mayonnaise obviously taste like lettuce.
