🎭 The Autistic Art of Social Scripts: Building Your Communication Arsenal

Let's get real about navigating social interactions when your brain doesn't download those "obvious" social rules everyone else seems to know by birth.

Here's the tactical truth about building your communication toolkit:

Basic Response Protocol:

Create pre-loaded scripts for common situations
Build exit strategies for overwhelming moments
Develop clear boundary statements
Craft professional email templates
Design meeting survival phrases

Your Emergency Exits:

"I need to check something"
"I have another commitment"
"I need a moment to process"
"Let me get back to you on that"
"I need to step out briefly"

Stop beating yourself up for needing these tools. Social scripts aren't "fake" – they're communication bridges between different neurotypes. Think of them as your universal translator in a world speaking a different native language.

Remember: Having prepared responses isn't manipulative or less authentic – it's smart adaptation. You're not being less genuine; you're being more effective at conveying your genuine self.

Because effective communication isn't about being "normal" – it's about being understood.
