idk if i'm autistic, but i certainly feel like some people, who i feel like i should identify with in terms of neuro divergence, tend to stroke their intellectual ego by patronizing whatever you say. they talk down to you, despite your ability to both articulate high ideas and present them in both an understandable and accessible manner. i think it maybe comes from insecurity, that the other person doesn't recognize the intent of the information being transmitted as something which is meant to help further their understanding of their world, but as a threat. it is like substantial mental activity is something of a vanity to these people, and when they recognize someone else is actually forming cogent thoughts, it is as though the illusion they were presenting is at risk of failing. so, they have to take you down a notch inorder to feel secure about themselves. are these people autistic, or just retarded? i can't tell.
