>These definitions make clear in different ways that the content of small talk is not the point. The point is a desire to connect. For most autistic people however, the point of a conversation is the content. If the content is engaging they will connect, content leads to connection. It seems that for many NT’s (neuro-typical or non-autistic people) connection comes before content, so they connect with contentless conversation and if that works they will move on to sharing meaningful content.
This is everything my profound social retardation boils down to. I've only ever connected with people when they initiated insightful conversations, I am unable to start conversations on my own, I don't know what's the point of engaging in worthless discussions about trivial matters you experience in your every day life. This shit ruined my life.
