    The point is that if you want people to relate, help them understand how it’s different. Autistic people get overwhelmed very easily via sensory overload. Being challenged by grocery shopping is not everyone’s experience. Pointing this out helps messaging. As opposed to leading with something that reads as an everyone experience.

    But sure, call me names from your 6 day old account if that helps.

      Oh please, you basically rephrased “everyone is a little autistic” which is practically the slogan of phobic behavior towards autists.

          You were at negative 5 points when I called you an asshole. I just said what people were already thinking. You downplay the stresses associated with autism, and that’s where the downvotes come from.

          It may not be what you intended, but if the majority are reading it differently can’t you just acknowledge that?
