Continuing to navigate through thoughts. It’s funny that you end up having conversations with people, realizing how you click with some people during convos and you’re not sure why. But then you have a hard time connecting with other people…. only to learn about ND conversation styles.

What’s interesting is seeing ND people talk in this style and it looks like they’re flirting amongst each other but it’s more so they’re on the same wavelength. Their masks come off and they’re more to the point, blunt and there isn’t much of hurt feelings about difference in opinion. With more “specialized interest” people you learn lots about different topics.

I think about two scenarios where I’ve witnessed colleagues speaking and it full on looked like they’re were flirting. At least one person in that convo was either in a long term relationship or was married. Just they had a good brain pinging session between each other.

What’s more interesting is autistic people tend to want to be more autonomous and rarely bring up their partner/spouse unless they end up being brought up. They might bring up their kids, but it seems like they’re more so kind of like a project they’re working on – sculpting them into good human beings. I think talking about your partner goes into that personal space.
