Autistic Communication Differences & How to Adjust for Them, by Leonard Yeates.

Autistics understand each other, but their mental processes often confuse allistics, or normal people.

This list reflects my (the writer's) personal experience.
THE DIFFERENCES

1. We use no– or very limited– initial small talk. The conversation may start with a hello or similar greeting, but there is usually no other small talk. Everyone is just who they are, and we get straight to the meat of interaction. We have all ages, all genders, etc.

2. We don’t have a group you need to show you belong to, just being or suspecting that you are autistic is enough.

3. Allistics often get upset, offended, or annoyed with honest answers; but if you ask an autistic how they are, expect a full medical history– and unless you want the truth, don’t ask if your bum looks big in this or how we like your new haircut.

4.We don’t communicate to establish a social pecking order or consensus. Allistics seem to vie for power within the allistic group as a part of their social dynamic. They are always looking for confirmation bias about their thoughts and beliefs. They seem to need to know others are on the same page with them.

Autistics don’t do this. If we have an opinion, we will state it and can often be shown to be wrong via another more-factual opinion. This is great because it allows us to move through conversations fast without useless argument. Even better, it helps us to refine and improve our worldviews.

5. We don’t spend much time stating the obvious. We don’t talk for half an hour about the results of a football or other sports match. After all, it has already happened and the result is clear. We also don’t talk about things like the observable state of the weather.
