I hope this is useful in understanding why I missed the joke: I wanted to match what I thought was a serious tone because I was afraid of causing insult if it seemed I wasn’t treating your comment as earnest.

Maybe part of the joke is referencing that autistic people need to make their own frameworks because (especially as adults) we are left to raw dog an existence not made for us yet we yearn for rules. I’ve seen a few people creating theories like this seriously, although they are often centring the autistic experience instead of dissecting allistic traits. That’s why I was being extra careful when wording my question.

So yeah, maybe a little tone indicator when you make your post would be good, or even explaining that this is an exercise in pathologizing allistic behavior instead of the other way around.
