I tend to come off as an absolute asshole in all debates and arguments even when I am agreeing with people or praising them regardless of if I am right/wrong or winning/losing because I'm probably mildly on the spectrum.
I feel this in my bones (except I know I am in the spectrum).
Jup, I'm a high functioning autist and especially in written discussions I tend to get misinterpreted. I doesn't help that English is my 4th language either.
Also an Autist and english is my first language, don't blame your language skills too much, they will find a way to misinterpret you anyway, you can trust me on this.
Even before you mentioned the spectrum your self description reminded me of a friend of mine whos also on the spectrum. I am as well and let me tell you, I feel like on reddit and here we get downvotes if we drop the mask too far. Everyones looking for hidden meanings in all of our words and no one simply responds to what we say, they respond to what they think we mean and it's infuriating.
