Diagnostic criteria for neurotypicality:

- Really loud for no good reason, not for stimming or anything, just knowingly loud, plays loud music in shopping centres
- Don't understand that you're supposed to actually say what you *mean*. They talk in vague terms for no real reason and that causes problems with social interaction. This is a serious problem which causes many misunderstandings and confusion.

Example:
NT: "wanna come over to my place"
Actual meaning: "would you like to have a sexual interaction with me?"

- Make eye contact when talking for some reason. Teach your child to look away if they do this.
- unable to have real interests. They tend to have trouble fixating on something specific. This is a big problem because how will they make friends if they don't have a special interest to talk about?

I'm a neurotypical expert.

I'm not an NT myself but trust me, I'm an expert. If you have any questions about neurotypicals I can answer them because I read a few books about neurotypicals. I even have neurotypical family members!

Sometimes it's really hard for me to interact with the shitposting sphere of the fediverse because my autistic brain takes everything literally and like half of their humor is to say untrue things as if they were true.

I really appreciate when people CW that stuff with "misinformation" or "shitpost" so I can be in on the joke instead of taking it seriously and feeling stupid when I realize it wasn't serious 2 days later.

#actuallyautistic I'm gonna try to explain my experience with this, though it's hard to put into words.

If I'm walking and on the verge of meltdown I sort of start walking in circles and rocking a bit, because I can't figure out what to do. It's like I'll go to do one thing then get confused or overwhelmed and then I can't make a decision, so I'm just kind of stumbling aimlessly.
