I've had this hunch for a while that languages and other tools can be developed to better translate and interface communication and co-ordination between "normal" and "autistic" people and there would be a significant reduction of any currently perceived differences.

I mean yea, just speak to them literally if they're verbal or visually if they're nonverbal... you just have to cut out the weird body language and say what you mean!

Hmm... the crisis we are facing is that "normal" people are not "just speaking" to each other "literally" as you said, so that there is a development of understanding and empathy between the two or more parties communicating. People are simply fighting with their minds closed.

If they have their minds closed then there's no way to communicate to them unless you can basically slip in your message and get past the backfire effect. That's basically manipulation but honestly that's how human brains work and it's a pretty giant glitch...

I've been able to do this for some people by pretending to agree with them totally using half-truths and gradually slide to explaining my viewpoints by asking them questions and getting their brain to have cognitive dissonance.

Imo about the nicest thing you can do for people.

I don't like doing it because it is manipulation but I can't really find a better way.

Arent all conversations with information transfer a form of manipulation?

Replying to @DanielleFong @Cantide1 and
the main idea, to me, is that while it is extremely challenging to just be a real person, it is both the truest expression of self, and that it is profoundly powerful — enough to change the universe! but it is not manipulation, you are simply part of something. “you are it”
