A teacher in primary school told me, "If you don't stop doing that, you won't have friends." It completely backfired. I interpreted it as, "If you do that, people will leave you alone" and started doing the undesired behavior a lot more often. 🤣🤣

Social skills programs tend to teach autistic people "that they have to become normal in order to have friends. It’s not true. There are a lot of autistic people who have friends without becoming remotely normal. Oddness and friendship are entirely compatible."
