“Autistic people can’t acknowledge when they’re wrong”
I read this as writing from someone who has a hard time seeing from other people&#x27;s perspective. I believe part of the responsibility falls on the author. While they acknowledge that they aren&#x27;t great at communication, their conclusion does not include working on soft skills.<p>It&#x27;s something I realized when I started tutoring, if a student fails to understand you, it&#x27;s not their fault for not understanding. It&#x27;s on you, as the tutor, to communicate in a way that gets through to them. The ability to communicate your ideas easily and concisely is something you can learn.<p>Here&#x27;s a good list of books, although I have not personally read all of them. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;socialself.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;books-improve-social-skills&#x2F;#6" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;socialself.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;books-improve-social-skills&#x2F;#6</a> At the end of the day though, real world experience is the easiest. Volunteering has been my favorite thing to do to get to know new people and practice my social skills.<p>I do not agree with the generalization of the author about all allistic people having the exact weakness outlined in the post. Effective communication is skill non-neurodivergent people work on to master too. What I&#x27;d argue is that allistic people learn more easily because they have a feedback loop they can rely on to self correct and autistic people need more clear examples to learn from.<p>&quot;I don&#x27;t care much for saying false things to appease someone&#x27;s ego. In cases like this, I&#x27;m not the one who can&#x27;t acknowledge being wrong.&quot; is just a very cold approach to social interactions. There&#x27;s a time and place for when that kind of clinical approach is necessary, but it&#x27;s not appropriate for every social interaction.
