       Yeah. This doesn't mean much from me, but autistic people have every reason to be angry at neurotypical society all the time.

       I was talking to a friend about his experiences growing up in school. As adults and even as children, autistic folks are explicitly and implicitly punished for being enthusiastic and transparent, and they're punished by NT folks for overlooking conformity to arbitrary social rules.

       NT teachers interpreted my friend's good qualities (focus, lack of respect of arbitrary authority, lack of participation in useless busy work) as intentional rudeness. In communication, he has to meet NT people far more than halfway. He has to interpret intentionally opaque and deceptive social cues, and he has to hide his depth of knowledge so that people don't feel "overwhelmed" (insecure).

       @ash At this point, I use infodumping as an intentinoal trolling tactic against NT people.
