#28: Unspoken but Written
For some of us, most of the “rules” on the list might seem obvious. However, these are things most people just picked up on during their lifetime; they’re not official rules, they aren’t written anywhere, and people who have a hard time picking up on social clues might not be aware of these rules.
For example, one person on the thread shared that as a person on the spectrum, they don’t understand “unspoken rules,” so it’s helpful to have posts like this where these rules are written and explained. I can see that; while these rules make a lot of sense and seem obvious to some people, It’s not knowledge we’re born with!
