Now I'm so interested in whether there are any autistic people who use LLMs to help with that. I wish I could ask Aella, she would totally not be offended.

I think the right move is to wait a few days and then bring it up in an indirect way

So I had this short back and forth with a somewhat autistic internet friend and then kept thinking about whether or not it's appropriate/polite to inform them of the social subtext that they clearly missed. But I think there's just no way to do it that doesn't come across as combative

Of course this leads to people not getting training data for social stuff

maybe the better answer would be that you totally can because they wouldn't be offended because they're autistic, but idk if it works like that

I'd say the help is way more valuable than the criticism is unpleasant.

This take from Katja Grace on why there is evil in the world is pretty autistic hilarious

It's pretty funny but ultimately incongruous with Christianity as a whole. After all, the whole premise of Christianity is that a better state of being is possible if you're a good enough Christian.

You can tell that people are autistic but not very smart when they keep using fancy words but incorrectly. I'm guessing this is because they have a better than average ability to remember words they've heard only a few times, but they lack the ability to read social contexts sufficiently to figure out what the words meant.

I have the impression that if an individual utilizes sophisticated language in a context where it is unexpected, this behavior will correlate positively with  autism on their end, even if the language they've utilized didn't contain improperly utilized terms.
