    Wait hold on.

    Are you saying NT lie all the time or ND lie all the time?

    Because neither of those is true?

    Or if it is, it explains my ex a whole lot better

      NT people lie and or talk around what they mean rather than say it directly. Neurodivergent people, especially autistic people, are not like this and find it taxing to deal with.

        That doesn’t make any sense. Yes, I have ADHD and not ASD, so yes I have a slightly easier time with social interactions, but NT don’t lie or avoid direct language. They try to minimize the harm of their words.

        That’s like me stating that ND people lack empathy, and they are insulting because they don’t care about the other person’s feelings.

          I think if you look for it you will see it more often. I also think most NT don’t notice when they do it because it’s second nature. Sure there are white lies, small lies, and then more nefarious lies. It’s still a core part of “normal” communication. Add in the indirect speech and every meaningful conversation is like a game where no one says what they actually mean.
