As autistic people, we don’t need to apologize to others for our differences.

    @autism101 @actuallyautistic About 8: Learning that not everyone (including other autistic people) want to hear your infodump is important. I've been on the receiving end of unwanted infodumps and was very displeased, even though I doubt the infodumpers knew that it was unwanted.

    @autism101 @actuallyautistic are you sure? Sure feels like I need to for many of these. I wish though...

    @autism101
    I'd like to see "relate to people by adding similar stories of my own experiences to theirs as a sign of empathy" or something to that effect... I hated myself for so long for being "self centered" as the neurotypicals would call me, because they didn't understand that I wasn't trying to "make them talk about me," I was literally trying to say "I understand what you mean, because I've felt something similar!"

    @autism101 @actuallyautistic Correction imo: No one needs to apologise for this
    regardless of brain makeup
