For #Autistics, how people-pleasing usually develops is basically when the people around you are either telling you explicitly or kind of subtly giving you the message over and over and over, that your natural autistic reactions to things aren’t acceptable. 1/3

Neurotypicals do tend to pick up social cues more easily than #Autistics.
But what they're often picking up are unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Just because it's easier for them doesn't mean they're better (nicer/fairer/healthier) at it.

Although life is complicated and hard for everyone, as #Autistics, we’ve got this extra layer of difficulty because the way the world works is not currently adapted for how we work. 1/2

Communication problems aren't always because of us.
A lot of people are bad at communication. Not just #Autistics.
A lot of allistics are really bad at it too. And sometimes the communication breakdown is their fault.
It's not always us. (Even when they claim otherwise.)

@Dianora @JamesWNeal @pathfinder @actuallyautistic It will be very difficult for advertising to work on us #autistics because its roots are in Freudian theory and the subconscious. And it’s always “clever” with puns and trendy cultural references. None of this works on the logical level, giving one a reason to buy.
I get affected by advertising that’s witty and entertaining but it does no more than make me like the company. Don’t think it affects my buying.

Disabled woman speaks about her confrontation with #ICE
"In the video, Rahman could be heard saying 'I’m disabled, I’m trying to go to the doctor up there… I am an #autistic disabled person, I’m trying to go to the doctor,' according to RegTechTimes."
By Randall, January 16, 2026
"A #USBornCitizen dragged from her car Tuesday by ICE agents is speaking out for the first time.
"#AliyaRahman told Newsweek that the last few days have been 'traumatizing and overwhelming.'
" 'First and foremost, I feel lucky to be alive. What I thought would be a routine trip to my appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center turned into an assault by federal agents,' said Rahman who was raised in Bangladesh.
"A New York Times reporter described what he witnessed in this video...:

A very common situation for #Autistics is one where someone is upset at us and we can’t figure out what we did or said to upset them. I’d like to offer my explanation for why this happens.

Some #rightWing policies are really setting up #autistics and #adhd folks to choose #violence as a special interest.
Do they really want the people who have a knack for gathering skills to do this?

This is not about high-functioning vs low-functioning. We are all autistics regardless of, for lack of a better term, "severity". 👉🏽 Autism is a four-dimensional spectrum. 👈🏽 #AutisticActually #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #AutismSpectrum #Autistics

@hzulla @Fuchskind And that #blind kid who got told "don't do X thing, people will think you're autistic" may have *[email protected]* been autistic. Not all #blindAutistics necessarily look like the classic autistic look either. Some of us look perfectly normal, and believe me when I say that some of us normal-looking #blind #autistics have spent a *bunch* of energy maintaining that normal appearance because it was expected, but are paying for it now.

I'm so drained, I only was able to do a few hours on a project. I was supposed to run earlier today but it rained. I guess back to #reading , my other recovery method.

CW: A question for autistic writers
Are there any writers here who are autistic? How do you handle something that you don't understand or can't relate to?
My challenge is, there are so many things I can't grasp because of the way my brain works. For example, I see in novels and TV series/drama that a person loses focus when they hear a very bad news (like their health).
However, in my case, at least from my experiences of hearing bad news, I never once lost focus; instead, I am more focus on listening to the expert (like a doctor). I'm more attentive because in my mind, that's the only way forward.
So, if I want to write a character, I end up with something monotone or too generic. It is not realistic for most people, but it is for me.
Or say, a character who obviously shouldn't do something but they still do it anyway. I'm trying to understand why so I can develop the character, but I'm failing in it.
How do you handle it? Do you have a collection of examples, or watch something and put what you've watched into words?
Thank you!

A very important reminder for Neurotypical (who call themselves “normal”) people.
