Well, then you’ll never get the chance to speak in a group.
Look, I just saw this post on c/all and wanted to give some advice. I don’t have autism, but I spent a couple years working with people who had special needs to help them develop scial skills. People that for the most part couldn’t hold down a job that paid minimal wage and stayed in highschool till their 20s. People that spent 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for years busting their asses trying to improve their social skills.
This worked wonders for them and it’s socially acceptable to do it in public.
If they can handle it, so can you.
But I was fully aware when making that comment that while it works for people that actually have autism and have difficulty knowing how to join a conversation…
I’d get a couple people telling me that it’s too much effort for them to try. Because lots of people on the Internet claim to have undiagnosed autism when they never put any effort into developing their social skills.
So I guess I should have prefaced it with:
If you actually want to work on speaking in a group setting, try this
It’s always so nice when someone comes into a group they don’t belong to and proceeds to make assumptions about a bunch people they’ve never met and everything they’re doing wrong and then spouts some shit like “have you tried just not being autistic?”

Speaking of social skills.

People just love that.
