One very important thing to remember is that neurotypicals face a lot of the same problems we do. I say to my neurotypical wife, "What just happened?" and she says, "I don't understand it either."

Sometimes I can't read faces or gestures, but no one else can read them either.

I think a lot of Aspie distress comes from the idea that humans ought to be predictable. If we can accept that humans are not predictable, and that everyone misreads them, we may not feel so bad.
