Reading People: A Difficult Struggle of Autism
I sometimes struggle to read people, especially in chats, comboxes, and forums. This can be harmful as I am prone to deem someone credible when they're not. I am prone to believe claims on made by experts in a certain field, only to find that they shouldn't be revealing certain info (i.e. a Catholic exorcist blogging about their battles against the forces of darkness), or credible complaints have been filed against them (i.e. a mental health professional). Or they're spouting conspiracy theories that have been debunked. Or they're a hypocrite or uncharitable or both. Thankfully, those who live in their own reality (COVID skeptic/denier, anti-vaxxer, etc.) are easy to spot.
