Why do non autistic people have to assign their own views to things that autistic people say/do?
For example, if someone says "You were being annoying on purpose", when you had no idea, and they don't believe you when you say you did not know, even when you did not?
What about if the person is a caregiver?
Many people are in the habit of jumping to conclusions. I suppose they do it because they either don't know how to do critical thinking or they don't feel they have the time to use it. It's also convenient for them to jump to conclusions that put blame and responsibility onto other people rather than themselves, conclusions that make them look or feel superior, sometimes only relatively so by making others look bad. Probably some of the time they don't know they're doing it. It's hard for a person to feel superior if they know perfectly well they're talking rubbish. I guess they might also jump to judgemental conclusions to hit out at people they've taken a dislike to. Caregivers aren't necessarily kind, wise people. Some people aren't very good at their jobs.
Autistic people may be a bit more thoughtful in general, and they're very likely more honest.
