I may be blind to social cues and body language but can body language and social cues make NTs blind to facts?
This is Neurotypical Disorder, I'm sorry, "Neurotypicalism," in a nutshell.
When I am feeling frustrated I have a rant on here I do not really deeply mean everything I say I just let of steam.
Your reply is a classic example of how I find things difficult to read.
Are you making a joke with me?
Are you being sarcastic because I had a rant?
Taking things in a literal way or not being able to figure what people mean.
Hopefully I can get some help with social training or something.
Just let me know what you really meant to see if I was reading you correctly or if I was way off.
Your post was not a big deal me not be able to understand it properly is.
That's interesting, because maybe I'm also unaware at how I come across, and maybe I wasn't articulating properly. But in this case, I think you misunderstand me, so I'll spell it out for you.
I fully agree with your sentiment about NTs. You are absolutely correct.
This is Neurotypical Disorder, = I'm saying they are the ones who truly have a disorder, not us

'm sorry, "Neurotypicalism," = correcting my deliberate misnomer to point out the irony that in reality, NTs are considered normal, and we have the disorder, even though I feel the opposite.
in a nutshell. = a nutshell is literally tiny and compact, and contains a nut. Figuratively, in that one short, tiny sentence, you accurately summarized NTs.
And thank you for not going on the defensive over a miscommunication. An NT who misunderstood me would never stop, pause, and inquire. Instead, an NT would immediately get defensive, assume the worst, assume they are correct about me trying to be a jerk, even though I'm not, and attack me.
