my experience, shared with many neurodivergents, is that neurotypicals and even other neurodivergents very often misunderstand us, and vice-versa, and the misunderstandings are occasionally very hard to recover from, becoming another source of discrimination against minorities. AFAICT minds that work in one way build thoughts in ways that don't carry over very well to minds that work in other ways, especially when there isn't awareness of and tolerance for the differences. I've known people who can understand and "translate" expressions of thoughts in ways that enable people with different mind structures to communicate more effectively. it's an amazing skill. I wonder if LLMs extend the experience of facing frequent misunderstandings to a majority of the people, or if they could help people translate between different mind structures, different perceptions of context, and avoiding triggers
