    The autistic trait that bites me in the ass most often is the assumption that if someone is arguing as though they do not know the truth, it is because they don’t.

      Then since they don’t seem to understand the facts I’m telling them, I try to explain it in a different way and they still don’t understand. We both end up frustrated, me because they don’t understand, and they because they think I have to prove I’m better than them and just loves to disprove them.

    Most people assume that what they think is “the truth”, including flat earthers, anti vaxxers etc. So how is this special either in that you think people should accept your truth or that they actually do not do that?

    Everyone thinks they’re right. Not being able to convince people of your position (or not being able to clearly convey it) isn’t unique to neurodivergence.
