@theautisticcoach@neurodifferent.me @autistics@fedigroups.social Interrupting a conversation asking what that's about if you have just arrived is rude (while in reality if someone gets annoyed by that *they* are being rude to you).

@theautisticcoach@neurodifferent.me @autistics@fedigroups.social "It's not what you say, it's how you say it." Turns out, I only have one way of saying anything, flat and to the point. I've never used subtext (in speaking, I use it in writing all the damn time. Because. NT audiences). Others have already mentioned the eye contact...thing. "You need to speak up, otherwise you won't get noticed/credit." That one tears me up, as it followed me from high school group projects through to running my own team of IT techs. There are more, but I'm tired. 🫠
