Selective confession

[Kayla55]

This is another confusing part of trying to understand autism, is when its opposite of selectively mute,

Is it that telling a white lie to protect our reputation the way NT do naturally is so difficult.
Example: my prescription meds is my privacy, I don't need to disclose and I'm aware of that. But I offer despite that hand over information about my meds.

In legal case a NT is protected by law and right to remain silent until attorney decides route of case is protective. Because legally the laws on evidence and procedure don't work on honest confession basis, which as autistic I do understand because I'm inclined to tell police exactly what I think I saw.

Disability can sometimes be a pardon for the way we skew up our social interactions and lives, a sort of self forgiveness pill in way of internalising, you so dumb, what were you thinking.

hen Nancy Nestor’s son P. was 3, a year before he was diagnosed with autism, he came home from preschool, went to his room and, as he played, muttered to himself, “Stupid P. Stupid P.,” over and over. (We are using P.’s first initial only, to protect his privacy.) At the time, P. did not know what ‘stupid’ meant, but Nestor was heartbroken. She spoke with his teacher, who was shocked. The teacher had not heard students using that word and promised to listen for it — and put an end to the problem. But Nestor continued to worry: Her son did not talk much, so he could not tell her if the bullying continued. “Nobody wants to hear someone refer to their child as stupid, especially a child that can’t talk,” she says.

This was my whole life being told I'm stupid, and various other derogatory jokes, much was related to my gender too. Now that I'm more outspoken I've obviously got issues with who invented what, patents, who who what?
Perhaps just keeps people at safe distance so I just focus on stuff.

Selective confession combined with not altogether understanding social implications is one reasons other motor co that some view autism as disability in sense of communication skills.
Another social delema I did notice over the years was not understanding why everybody else views something scandalous as embarassing. Not understanding severity of social discrimination.

The ego, arrogance can be reason why someone isn't well liked, however the role of dignity and need for decent treatment in social standing is where balance is good. Despite masking this healthy persona I found at home I'm still inclined to be more timid. Or even vica-versa where overcompensate.
