Pretty clear theres a tradeoff between social intelligence and other forms of intelligence

I'm diagnosed as autistic and I am therefore more qualified than you to classify what is rude and what isn't rude to autistic people. I think misrepresenting what he actually said is what is rude, not what he in actuality said.
Also, I wouldn't presume to speak for all autistic people, though I am one.
Sometimes people can take the same sentence to mean different things. Please don't assume malice from others where it could be a difference of understanding.
I am not mad or anything, I know how it is to misunderstand things.
To me it looks like you first "assumed malice", got called out and now don't want to be assumed malignant yourself.
Thanks for the chuckle!
But in seriousness: would you mind describing how you interpret your own participation in this thread?
I'm fascinated by this behaviour, but I suspect it's as "easy" as you not being able to interpret the original comment in more than one way.
(Just as I'm doing too, or at least we both seem to act like it anyway)
> but I understand you probably didn’t mean it that way.
Which I assumed the person I was talking to originally would see, read, and understand to mean that their comment was rude but I’m sure they didn’t mean it that way.
Instead, a bunch of others jumped in to interpret it a different way. I don’t see how I supposedly have assumed malice when I literally said that the OP probably wasn’t being malicious in a slightly different way!
