"Cultivating" relationships

This article is full of New Age jargon, but it still has some truth to it.

Basically, it ridicules the idea of cultivating relationships with inauthentic behavior. Autistics, it says, rely on connecting in the moment and are too sensitive to deal with fake treatment.

It would explain why we connect so well with each other, when we do; and if we don't, we know that, as well.

I like this part, it seems accurate to my own experience.

"In this situation, people with autism continue to be in the “relationship” even though they may not feel comfortable, safe or secure and are unable to express their whole self with joy and freedom because they have chosen to REFLECT back to the “Biological or Adopted family” whatever needs healing in the members of the family, especially in the parents.
Therefore, in these kinds of relationships, the person with autism is being of SERVICE to
the parents and siblings. Often at the cost of their own well-being and thriving."
