First, I am a late diagnosis, so if some of my terminology is offensive please tell me, assimilation is hard.

On the the point, I have been noticing a pattern, I am in a number of allistic or mixed groups, online or in meetup type spaces. I am trying to expand my social circle, and I have nearly always been alone.

Is it typical amongst nurotypical people to respond to a question with need for information questions and then, when they realize that (and I don’t know which) they’re not interested or they can’t help they just move on, not explain that they can’t help or aren’t interested?

    You’re very welcome!

    Yes, I was excited similar to the person you described, but I wasn’t in a position to act it out at the time. I still felt it though!

    Now I am going to read that like 5 times so I can absorb it.

    Let me know if you have any questions about what I commented. Also, please know that I am not a specialist in this field or a therapist. I’m just some guy that got real interested in the subject once I was diagnosed.

    I generally run stuff like that by my therapist first to make sure it doesn’t clash with what we are working on at the moment.

    That sounds like a great rule to have 🙂
