StrikerBe yourself and be true to who you are. Don't let neurotypical conditioning define your identity.
vzqKinda burying the lede here. They are all different forms of “questioning their authority”
1984I dont agree it’s about authority at all. This entire list is about showing disrespect for someone and expecting them to be OK with it.
To allistic people, everything on this list is insulting behavior that will offend them (except not wanting to eat certain foods).
This behavior will work fine with autistic people though. But you can’t expect it to work with allistic people.
Different brains equals different expectations of what is acceptable social behavior. That’s it.

Yeah, people who are used to playing and winning dominance games tend to get upset when other people aren't willing to play and have the temerity to show it. Tough shit. If I want somebody to dominate me, that's my wife's exclusive prerogative.
I don't expect you to be OK with me refusing to knuckle under when you play dominance games with me. But your feelings are of no greater importance to me than mine are to you. You are my equal at best. Do not try my patience. It is not my greatest virtue.
I’m really struggled with figuring out how anything on that list has to do with “dominance”.
