I get annoyed sometimes when people come up to me to talk while I have my headphones in and I'm only giving them one word answers so they leave me to my peace.

Um sweaty maybe just maybe some person might have autism and can't tell that you want to be left alone??

Loud chewing can really get obnoxious.

Wow it's almost like some people are autistic and don't know that they're engaging in a social faux pas???

I really don't like getting hit on or having to make long and unnecessary conversations with customers while I'm working.

Oh my sweet summer child, you DO know that people with autism exist and they have trouble reading social cues????

These are hyperbolic but just barely, there's often an accusation of "ableism" because you didn't preface your complaint with a disclaimer that you extend more patience and empathy to people with disabilities when you post about it.

Is it an epidemic? No. Does it happen every time? That's not what I'm saying. But when it does happen it's pretty obnoxious, like some rando contrarian just wants to take a stranger down a peg with some bullshit 'gotcha'. Can we at least try and extend the benefit of the doubt to people that they're not complete assholes until proven otherwise?
