I used to think i only told people about my autism in order to feel more comfortable or trusting. I suppose that’s part of it but i’ve begun to realize that the trust is what encourages me to share.

I want to give them tools to understand our communication with less friction.

Obviously I must continue to use my own tools to better understand the people around me but if i can avoid causing suffering before it happens ill do that too.

    It’s especially rough through text with fellow autistic people. It’s like a knife fight were everyone gets cut.
