@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I cannot read minds...

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic Im usually too blunt with NTs which puts them off.

No matter how I try to phrase things, my impatience inevitably gets the better of me.

I'm good at thinking about other people, but not at asking them how they're doing or actually providing the right kind of support. It is very uncomfortable for me. I'm not a stellar listener (I think that's why I prefer text...it's easier for me to parse).

@roknrol @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic my patience with stupid is also just too small. Allistics need to group-wise express their mutual emotions on situations and while that is going on they are like a stirred waspnest if you point out the other side of the coin. So exhausting.

@hanscees @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I always struggle with dealing with managers and bosses because of the terminal, "I don't have time for this shit" that I get from them. That makes me want to be as "to the point" as I can get, but if you're not willing to dress it up in corporate speak they aren't sure what to do.

@roknrol @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic then if you can find better managers, but if not it sucks

@hanscees @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I'm disabled/retired now, so it's not really a problem for me at this point.

Now if I'm dealing with a manager it's because I paid money to bitch 😆

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic When talking with NT, it's like standing under a waterfall with your head turned up and trying to talk into the downward rush of overpowering water
