Obligatory "Elevator Guy" Post

I don't know what happened.

I am not going to offer up another inevitably-embellished version of what happened.

I just want to say that not everyone can read minds. An awful lot of the commentary seems to assume that EG should have anticipated with RW was thinking, or should have inferred what RW was thinking from something she may have implied but not stated, from her tone of voice, or from her body language.

I hate to say this but some of you are establishing a standard that people without mind-reading skills are automatically creeps. We, people without mind-reading skills, deal with a world where we are judged as bad people, as morally inferior, as less worthwhile, as people who should be shunned and forced from society, as people who are less trustworthy, as something which should be wiped from existence. We are beaten for who we are.

Yeah, I'm getting really tired of the, "not being neurotypical is no excuse [for maybe needing things repeated]" argument. It's very much bullshit. I had a roomie who was an aspie, but he refused to take no for an answer. He was very good at deflecting... this guy is not EG. EG took no for an answer. Most aspies, like most neurotypical people, take no for an answer.
