The answer in this metaphor is to get experience cooking and learn what the ingredients are.

If you want some idea of how much autistic people struggle to understand allistic people when they don’t say exactly what they mean, take a cooking recipe and replace all units of measure with “enough but not too much”. For example:
enough but not too much white sugar
enough but not too much butter
enough but not too many eggs
enough but not too much vanilla extract
enough but not too much flour
enough but not too much baking powder
enough but not too much milk
preheat oven to hot enough but not too hot
bake for long enough but not too long
Even someone who’s experienced with cooking would probably struggle to follow that recipe. Now imagine if they had no experience cooking and had no idea what these ingredients are.
#so fucking tired#“wahh i dont understand social mores!!!”#you can learn.#we all play by the same rules#“but its harrrrrd”#yes. it is.#it was for me too#and it still is#but this infantilizing of autistic ppl is the bigger problem#dont you see that?#life IS a challenge worth meeting.
