A note for all my autistic-spectrum, Asperger's, and face-blind type friends:
Just because us neurotypicals are better at this social stuff doesn't actually mean that we're any good at it.
Seriously. I mean, a lot of you folks, having worked on trying to figure out what is socially-appropriate, how to tell what people are feeling, and whether to take some one literally or figuratively, may find yourself in the uncomfortable position of being among a group in which everyone else is NT, and you're actually better than they are at all this stuff.
Just something I was thinking about after seeing various experiences and thoughts that different autistim-spectrum folks on my friends-list were talking about.
