NTs say that people with Asperger's have trouble learning social norms. I think it's actually just that people with Asperger's have trouble learning the social norms of NTs, the same way NTs have trouble learning the social norms of people with Asperger's.

but we are humans? speaking interspecies is far different to speaking to other humans.

So you're saying, in example; baby talk everyone else in a way to be understood better - this seems like so methodical, and logical, and yet is not how we practice ourselves naturally with autism.

Using the fact we need to "make sense" or "find logic" to a rule or social norm, you would assume that we could use the same logic here to make adjustments to "their words and methods", yet we don't.

We don't come to that logical conclusion you speak of, why?

is it because we quite literally don't understand how to use their words or their methods, because we literally don't understand the methods to begin with, without deep explanation.

this comment makes no sense to me and is really confusing.

It almost seems like you're asking someone to just adjust to social norms and JUST understand as if we don't already struggle with the exact thing we should just adjust to - literally fundamentally being autistic.
