    I don’t really think so. It’s only true insofar as NDs have to learn how to codeswitch when communicating with NTs while NTs are the neurological equivalent of monolingual Anglos. Overall, I think communication is a skill that everyone has to work on. You work on your native communication style, and once you get that down, you can then branch out into different communication styles. NTs are just pushy about insisting you master their particular style before your own native style.

    There’s definitely NDs who are poor communicators even by the standards of their particular form of neurodiversity. But the trick is to practice and cultivate your native communication style, not try to follow NT’s communication style.

      Then you’ll be doomed to be misunderstood by the majority of people.
