Being autistic means that a lot of people misunderstand me a lot. That is - my intentions, my comments, my gestures, body language and everything in-between.
It can make potential friendships and relationships fraught with issues so it becomes a minefield, and sadly - it’s

When answering a question my response is measured, detailed and often long, but gives a complete answer to the question posed.
That is unless you ask me a question that can be answered with a yes or no, in which case you’ll just get a yes or no.

Once a chimp jumped me at the Welsh Mountain Zoo. It thumped me very, very hard for several minutes until some zoo assistants dragged him off me.
He was given a sedative and a week’s detention in a security wing of the zoo.
I was on a psych ward for several months.

When I did my teacher training, I asked a lecturer “what happens if a child asks me something and I don’t know the answer?” And he said “just tell them you don’t know but you’ll go and find out.” (or not).
Anyway, I’ve applied that philosophy to all areas of my life since.

I used to get this a lot, I still do. Got it during university and at work.
We usually ask because we want to understand, or perhaps because you haven’t made yourself clear.
We’re not out to usurp your authority or challenge your power.
When talking or working with autistic people, don't treat our clarifying questions as a challenge to your authority.
They're just questions so we don't misunderstand. It's horrible to misunderstand all the time.
That's it.

I can remember moderating my behaviour for people, and their pleasure at my compliance. We’re people pleasers for all sorts of reasons and if we get a positive response for masking - we’ll continue to do it. It’s a reward system and we as children respond to that.

But acting is a middle class occupation - you won’t find many actors who haven’t been privately educated. Kit Harrington (married to Rose Leslie) is a baronet’s son.
Nobody can afford to go to RADA or the like so naturally only the affluent would be able to go.

Oh goody *warming to my theme* - I also find it difficult to indulge in sycophancy and 'doffing my hat' to the powerful.
I also have fantasies about going on stage at an important event swearing, using the kind of language that would shock the unshockable people.
I have no natural respect for authority. Powerful people don't faze me in the slightest, though I do find them a curiosity. I'm just as likely to fart in front of the Queen as I am in front of anyone else. Which is to say, pretty likely.
I see this as an autistic thing.

I used to make up ridiculous stories to make people laugh and presumably get people to take me seriously. I think that was because I often felt like I was literally disappearing and would eventually just evaporate from sight. I also felt misunderstood and alone.

When people say they’re doing really well freelancing it should be compulsory for them to tell you how much their partner earns.
Then ask them how much difference that makes to their emotional and financial well-being as opposed to the rest of us trying to do this by ourselves.
