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.)

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.
