TW: mention of CSA
Hearing NT (neurotypical) culture is very indirect. As a neurodivergent person (Deaf, Autistic, ADHD). this often means that I know I have to do something, but I don’t really know why. And I think I understand the purpose of doing it, but in fact I find I don’t really understand when someone explains why to do it.
I once asked someone (a NT) why statutory rape was wrong, They didn’t know, they could only say that it was wrong. The answer is because of cognitive ability to understand adult sex.
I recently learned why tipping was important. I knew to tip, but not WHY. Now I know: compensation.
