First, I am a late diagnosis, so if some of my terminology is offensive please tell me, assimilation is hard.

On the the point, I have been noticing a pattern, I am in a number of allistic or mixed groups, online or in meetup type spaces. I am trying to expand my social circle, and I have nearly always been alone.

Is it typical amongst nurotypical people to respond to a question with need for information questions and then, when they realize that (and I don’t know which) they’re not interested or they can’t help they just move on, not explain that they can’t help or aren’t interested?

    I’m not diagnosed. I have had some doubts for the last handful of years, and especially since I started meds for ADHD. But if that’s really how allistics think like… Damn boi, I’m autistic as fuck 😂

      Okay…I’m gonna say it. I’m really going to say it. Allism is a spectrum 😆. Actually, it’s really a set of spectra. Either way, some do what I commented more than others. On one end, you’ve got people high on narcissism, and other you have selfless people. It really all depends, and every single person is an individual with their own traits. But yes, they tend to think that way, while autistics tend to not.
