Autism And Social Cues

For most neurotypical people, social cues are picked up naturally through observation and repetition. For many autistic individuals, however, these cues can feel vague, inconsistent, or even invisible—especially when no one explains them directly.

While autistic individuals may appear introverted, this often stems from social communication differences (e.g., difficulty interpreting non-verbal cues) and the exhaustion caused by “masking” their autistic traits to fit into neurotypical social norms.

For many, clarity isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Whether navigating conversations, managing daily routines, or facing uncertainty, autistic individuals often rely on clarity to feel safe and understood.

Neurodiversity is the concept that there is natural variation in how human brains function. It refers to neurocognitive differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more that have both strengths and struggles.
