In this Loom, I discuss pragmatic communication and how it affects neurodivergent women. Pragmatics is the study of how context influences interpretation, and it can vary greatly depending on geographic location or cultural group. Neurodivergent women often struggle with pragmatic communication, which includes concepts such as sarcasm, politeness, and implicit class metaphors. This can lead to issues with determining when to join a conversation, being stigmatized when interrupting, and blurting out thoughts that may seem inappropriate to others. However, research shows that these issues don't exist among neurominorities, meaning you don't have any social skills or communication issues when you're with your own kind. I reference a study by Catherine J. Crompton that shows how autistic people communicate well among their own group. Check it out!
