AND their so delusional they actually think then can read YOUR mind as well! 9/10 these thick headed low self awareness bufoons are completely hopeless when it comes to interpreting my own emotions and thoughts, their as blind to me as I am to them, but unlike them I don't just expect them to read my mind and understand what I'm thinking without me explicitly telling them in plain words. I also demand they explain themselves to me in plain words instead of solipsitically assuming I know what their thinking by using a model of my own thought sequence onto them. the Allistic has TERRIBLE self awareness.

Eh.

They don't read ours, actually.

They assume they do and expect particular reactions from others to follow through whatever they're expressing.


A classic case of experiencing double empathy chronic problem.


I had it easier because I'm able to make do with how they think towards me against them by being so upfront about not passing as 'normal'.

And I can do so because I don't fawn a lot, I don't have a lot of prospecting (desperate/pick me) thoughts.



I don't expect any allistics to have any pro-autistic social skills.

Sure. But you can't really hold it against them can you? Or conclude that they're thick because of it. They're just functioning in a way that works for them most of the time.

Doesn't everybody think they know what someone is thinking at some juncture or other

I know I certainly do

I also get upset sometimes when I'm struggling with myself when people can't read my mind because I wish they could

When someone wants me to read their mind, I usually remind them that I do have that ability. However, if the brain being probed is shielded by being up an orifice, I will get incorrect information due to static interference from the surroundings. That answer usually gets them to go away after rolling their eyes at me, sometimes after they ponder it a bit first. My sister got that answer many a time from me growing up.



For the layman in the room: I am accusing the one asking me to read their mind of having their head up their a#^.
