From what I understand, every autistic individual is unique and different from one another, right?

We probably all have different traits from each other anyway, so it might make sense to learn more about each other in order to get along.

What are your own thoughts about this matter?

Definitely! I know I screw up sometimes and I apologize because it is my bad for doing that, not their bad for having some trouble with it. We typically give each other grace. I know other interrupters that are not like the person in my previous comment, it wasn’t my intention to paint them all like that.

This person treats it like your problem though. I used them as an example because I felt like it highlighted the fact that autistic people (or ADHD, or anyone with a disability really) can still be a jerk or a bad friend, even factoring in a reasonable amount of understanding for things they can’t control.
