When neurotypical people try to explain autism to autistic adults, because they think they know better.
"People with autism don't have empathy."
"Actually, most autistics have a higher level of affective empathy than others. But since being able to read faces and body language is harder, levels of cognitive empathy aren't as high. We don't need you NT-splaining autism to us."
