actually everyone treat others like shit. But what NT have is a much stronger upport circle and fewer difference.
By fewer difference I mean that you cant pick on someone that everyone around him does : A boss can't really bully a NT for using implicite dicourse when all of their collegues does the exact same, they would immediately realise something is wrong. The average NT knowing jackshit about autism, it can be easy to trick them into thinking that ND should "just make an effort" to understand implicite discourse.
That's sad part, we are technically all targeted with the same amount of flak so if you are slightly out of cover, you get blasted away
That's simply not true.
that might be an exageration but that is surprisingly common
