  • This is why learning how to write/speak for your audience is so helpful. People literally perceive what they expect rather than what exists. If the ideas aren't presented in the way they expect or are beyond the sort of ideas they're used to dealing with, they'll apply their preconceived notions of what they think you would say.

    Even if you do make sense to someone with the right expertise or experience, people will apply their worldview to everything. Neurotypical people intuitively pick up on cultural ways of thinking and communicating, while autistic people have to consciously think about it more.

    The most useful fixation of mine has been understanding how people think so I can speak to be understood. I'm probably better than average at talking to people with different worldviews as a result.
