I have a good friend who is #ActuallyAutistic .
And one of the things she says she appreciates about me is that I am willing to explain various things from my perspective and life experience on request (currently, she is curious about meal planning and budgeting) without either telling her how _she_ is supposed to do things _or_ making her feel bad by telling her how she "fails at life" by not being capable of doing some <neurotypical thing>.
Considering how often she mentions this, I am quite disturbed at the behavior of, apparently, quite a few of my fellow neurotypicals. I mean, is it _really_ so hard to explain stuff without being judgmental about other peoples' lives and life experiences? Is it _really_ so hard not to be a dick about things when we encounter people with a different perspective on our own? 😒
