Hello. I am new to this platform so I’ll keep this brief.
I was essentially raised in a cult with my autistic siblings being the only social circle I had for most of my childhood. I don’t understand much of anything and when I act like I do, it gets awkward.
My acting Professor said specificity in charachter work was THE key to a good performance. Now when my classmates don’t know an answer, every time, they just say the buzzword… “Uh…specificity?” Everyone laughs. My understanding was that the repetition was the punchline. In actuality, it is a satire of how seriously she takes the craft, since the buzzword often changes.
How can I learn how to socialize with neurotypicals?
Talk to people. You have to understand in the cohort there are good people and bad people so your experience will not always be good. Bad people are not always meth addicts , drug dealers etc. There are some sick sick individual among us. They have normal 9-5 jobs some are in position of power like CEO, Director , president of a country so doesn’t always mean if someone is earning million $ , they must be normal. Question everything and understand people.
