Yes, neurotypicals are indeed able to have large family dinners. But they have to do it using table manners as a crutch. They can't just have an honest conversation about what's really necessary, they need to rely on this social construct to tell people what to do without explaining why. It's a great weakness. If only the average person weren't so afraid to introspect and to question why we do things.
Tell me you have autism without telling me you have autism.
Which is kind of the point he is making. Instead of engaging in a honest talk and understanding the reasoning behind social norms, they are just pushed as normative and understandably confusing to people who struggle with "just behave like everyone else, lol".
Ironically this is exposing us neurotypicals to be socialy underdeveloped instead of non neurotypical people.
you implying that's bad?
except he literally implied it to you, and is trying to have an honest conversation about it
