Allistics, how to pass


1. Be honest
Say what you mean, do not use sarcasm or double negatives (unless you know how to use them) or ask ambiguously worded questions. Be straightforward. Ask for an explanation if you need it
 
2. Take what we say at face value
if you are told that you look fat in something, then do not be offended. Just know that it is the truth. Inflections do not necessarily mean that we are being rude or that we someone is excited. If you said something stupid then you said something stupid, you are not a stupid person. That takes about ten stupid things in one day, then you need to re-affirm someone’s trust in your intelligence
3. Do not make eye contact
When you first encounter someone it is good to meet their eyes, but only for an instant. Constantly looking at the person’s eyes makes them uncomfortable. Look around them and look them up and down. Get a good feel for the person and their surroundings
4. Do not be mundane
When you wish to engage with someone do not ask them about the weather or comment on the conditions of the day. Comment on something they are reading, mention a character if you know the book. A good way to start is to list three main interests and then proceed to ask them to tell you about their interests. This way you are engage the person
5. Move how you feel
When you are excited, jump up and down and raise your voice. When you hear something loud and annoying, start rocking and smacking yourself. When you are sad, feel free to cry if you like. It shows us that you are trying to understand what we are going through. It also shows that you are not afraid to express yourself in front of others
