she-waves-at-cats:

I think it needs to become common knowledge that “inability to read social cues” can show up as overcompensating.

You don’t know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.

You don’t know if someone is irritated with you, so you’ll be extra generous and self-effacing.

You don’t know how much is expected of you at work so you’ll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.

“Hardworking and quiet” should be as much of an autism red flag as “ignores rules and doesn’t know when to stop talking”. Or why don’t we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody’s eyebrow twitches, that would be great.
