Small Talk, Big Soul
(lemmy.world)
Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah, that's very true.
I have autistic acquaintances that are kinda friends, and it takes shifting mental gears to have good interactions. It really helps when the individual says up front that they don't like/want/have skill at the usual preliminaries amd wants to just talk about more specific things.
Bridging that neurofunction gap can be very hard on both sides, and it's always an ongoing learning experience.
All of that being said, it is also very nice when both/all people present make that effort. It's harder for autistic folks, or so it seems, but without at least a little willingness to communicate about how to communicate, it's a much harder thing to make work.
