ASD typically makes it difficult to understand human interactions and it’s not always easy to navigate ins and outs. But people with ASD can learn proper behaviors even if it doesn’t come naturally. That’s when therapy, support groups and peer support come handy.
That’s why when we on here or support groups or therapist or doctor advice you that certain behaviors are wrong and you just stop it’s pointless to keep arguing about it or keep doing it. You need to try to stop bad behaviors regardless if you think you shouldn’t. Even if you don’t naturally feel what’s right, you could and should make an effort based on the input
