bit of autism whispering

I am an autism whisperer: I understand human socialization effortlessly but I also have a literal mind so neurodivergent people love me because I can tend to articulate the principle they're missing.

Some autism chauvinists like @sirpingsalot theorize that if they could get a bunch of autists in one place and convince them of something they'd be I dunno super powerful acting in concert or something. What they don't get is that this is also just true of normal people. The act of convincing a person is the same whether or not they're neurodivergent. Logical arguments work on people who are logical. Emotional arguments work on people who are emotional.

So it's batshit deluded to think that neurodivergent effluvia online is somehow superior to normie shit. Mostly y'all need a place to violate the taboos and violating the taboos is good practice but don't let that delude you into thinking you're powerful instead of just crippling your message for normies. (Don't fricking complain about being misunderstood ever. The message received is the one that matters, not what you think you said.)

I'm on board for: this is neurodiversity, brilliant and exciting differences between people. Neurodivergent chauvinism is fricked up though. Like people who are missing a sense claiming to see more than others. It falls down pretty hard.
