One of weird things about being autistic is when I make observations about people and then they get creeped out or tell me it was unsettling.

Like, I'm literally commenting on something
so obvious to me that it would have felt weird not to say something.

@amy When this happens to me, very often it seems to be a case of "the social convention is that you do not point this out to people and confront them with it, and you have broken that social convention".

Very often they are conventions I absolutely do not subscribe to for ethical reasons...

@joepie91@social.pixie.town yeah I tend to stay away from the "don't bring it up" weird allistic topics because I find the fallout from mentioning them tedious. For the things I have in mind like, it's more like I say that "I know when people are gonna sneeze, so I cover my ears before anyone sneezes around me" and their objection is that I know before they do that they're gonna sneeze 🤔

It's not my fault you don't feel the sharp inhale right before the sneeze!
