I do. I decide to obtain more complete information.

Unfortunately, that is not my experience.

Your experience is incomplete and a poor basis for making judgements about large groups of people.

    Thank you. The amount of otherising around here is concerning.

    Wild. Would you rather pretend neurotype differences don’t exist?

    The point of this sub is to be supportive. A safe space for auties/Aspies to state their experiences. My experience is that the NTs I've encountered frequently impose artificial time pressure based on their own internal vibes rather than genuine constraints, and either don't know or don't care if the information on which they expect a decision to be made is insufficient.

    Apparently, you’d prefer to downvote me, invalidate my experiences, and thereby “other” me an Aspie. Hypocritical and against the ethos of the sub.

    Like I say, wild.

    You could have responded along the lines, “Sorry to hear it. I guess you’ve had some misfortune on that front.”

    Instead you responded with a straw man:

    making judgements about large groups of people

    It’s a straw man because:

    • At no point did I generalise or say all NTs do that.
    • I merely mentioned my experience.

    Critcising an Aspie for reporting their lived experience is cruel and unsympathetic: the opposite of allyship, and wholly against the purpose of this sub.
