YOThings like eye contact, tone, and body language aren’t always automatic.
Many autistic people focus on literal meaning more than hints or vague signals, so they can miss the “unspoken” part of a conversation.
On top of that, social situations can be overwhelming, which makes it even harder to track expressions, tone, and group dynamics all at once.
There’s also the double‑empathy problem: autistic and non‑autistic people are basically using different social “languages.”
It’s not just autistic people “lacking skills” it’s both sides struggling to read each other.#neurodiversity
