Understanding Autistic Communication

Misconceptions and misunderstandings around autistic communication can make autistic people appear rude. They often struggle with social norms, nonverbal cues, and processing sensory information. Autistic individuals may avoid eye contact, have difficulty with sarcasm and humor, struggle with small talk, and have a rigid thinking pattern. These traits can be misinterpreted as rudeness, when in fact, they are simply manifestations of their unique neurodivergent brain.
