    Ideally people would just communicate these sentiments? Shocking idea I know ✨

    For example, when I say I “added something to my backlog” for instance, it means I actually literally did. It’s no guarantee that the book(Hi Unjust Depths, I plan on you) or w/e won’t end up lost in the backlog for however long, but it means I had enough interest to want to keep the thing around.

    For me, when it comes to someone talking to or messaging me I will almost never not reply, and if I stop replying it means I think the conversation is over. But normals gonna normal Ig!

      Yeah I will say though not everyone who fucks up about this is NT like I know ND people with social phobia who dont want to say no. Or ADHD means they just see it and forget lol. But yes I agree people communicating these things would be a big help.

            Doesn’t really surprise me either tbh, there are ND people that do social shenanigans akin to those typically associated with NTs. I had hoped ages ago that other autistic people would be easier to get on with, but uh pain
