it absolutely is, take it from an autistic person.

(autstic people often don't recognize or can't properly replicate sarcasm, which is why i often use /s)

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Yeah, but I've also met several (Americans, usually) who had takes like these and... Uh... Unfortunately meant it.

To some extent this can be mitigated by therapy. I'm serious.

Or we leave people be how they are?

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

Therapy is about leaving people more "how they are" than before. It's not about making them behave according to expectations.

I know very well what therapy is about. Decades of experience. Being an autistic person and working through a life of internalized ableism and discrimination works wonders for recognizing it. Not being able to understand sarcasm or other subtext is no problem for me, it is a problem for my surroundings so they can go to therapy for it. I go to therapy to learn to not accept being ousted for being different.

Well, for me it's only 2 months of experience, being 28.

I go to therapy to learn to not accept being ousted for being different.

That's right too.

EDIT: I meant - when you are not permanently suppressed by the things which you don't need, like trying to not be yourself, you may have easier time understanding sarcasm and subtexts too.
