Yeah, I'm very familiar with the oversharing some Aspies indulge in. That behavior isn't as offensive as the more manipulative 'fake expert' I notice-- for me, it seems fairly normal give the number of people I interact with who are on the spectrum.

Maybe I am talking more about a BS artist than a 'know it all' to be clear. The 'facts' which the people I am talking about share are often incorrect, which is not the case (in my experience) with people who just can't pick up social cues. Ha ha, it is probably my own Aspie tendencies that make this drive me crazy -- the information is inaccurate!

I am talking about people who pretend to be experts when they really know very little about a topic. It's kind of scary to have people like that around when foraging for wild mushrooms. I know not to listen to them, but do other people?
