You're So Weird!: Flipping the Social Scripts

The Different-Functional Podcast

Those of us in the neurodivergent community have had our fair share of struggles with social situations. By the standards of the neurotypical world, our social skills come up lacking and we’re often seen as awkward, eccentric, odd, clueless, weird, off-putting, crass, rude, etc… If you’re neurodivergent, you know what we mean. You probably have a whole list of not-so-nice words that people have used to describe you and backhanded compliments you’ve been given, and we’re sure you’re all too familiar with “that face” people give you when you’ve broken a social rule that you either didn’t understand or didn’t care about. Even if you’ve learned to mask really well chances are still good you’ve committed some social faux pas in your time. But let’s be honest here, a lot of neurotypical social scripts are arbitrary, poorly written, and they just don’t make much sense. So join as we flip the script on neurotypicals for a change and call them out for all the ways in which they’re actually the weirdos here.
