“Autistic people can’t acknowledge when they’re wrong”

Author here, thanks for reading. I was a bit torn about the “allistic” word, and decided to include it because it does encode what I was talking about in a very technical manner. In fact, if I regret one thing, it is to edit this blog post to shreds. It used to be much more conversational at around 2000 words, and probably conveyed more nuance.

I like the form it currently has too, but it requires taking every word at face value, and not assuming any subtext. For example, I don’t blame anybody, thus I really mean I am not blaming anybody. This is an examination of how things have played out and why they might have played out the way they did. Nothing more.

The post was perfectly fine. Don't be too hard on yourself. It was a minor criticism. I only proffered it because I thought it offered a useful insight. I've noticed many people tend to use this higher abstract language rather than "real" more relateable terms. I tend to do this myself, when I spend countless time editing words only to find it can be more easily said with much more basic language. This is a commonplace, I think.

I would be interested in a longer version of the post if it is something you are considering making available.
