From what I understand people who have autism may have trouble reading people. This can be incredibly problematic in the work place. I am an introvert with a “don't bother me” look but at work I have to be the “Hi how are you! Lol good morning everyone!” Person. I have to read the room. Its mentally exhausting but i have to do it.
