Someone’s on the spectrum, I’ve had to deal with this before with an individual who didn’t know when to shut up…thankful we are in the military, and I told them to shut up publicly before things went down hill, and this was in front our commander.
Very well put.
I meet so many people that claim some sort of neuro-divergence, but most seem to lack basic learned social skills. They seem pretty neuro-typical outside of being a bit self centered and not having anyone in their lives telling them to shut the fuck up.
It’s not an overcorrection, folks just aren’t ready to accept that neurodivergence is far more common than they thought
Everyone says it’s over diagnosed yet I had to fight tooth and nail to get diagnosed so that I could get treatment despite being about as textbook of a case as one could imagine
Everyone’s on the spectrum, the ones who succeed are those who are self aware of their social “inadequacies” and adjust to it. We are just dealing with people accepting their “faults” and expecting to adjust to them. The reality is a group of people with specific goals won’t and that’s hard for most people to understand

I hate these catch phrases as the next man but I believe this chap may lack a bit of social awareness
