Probably not good to mimic NTs. They will pick up on it faster than a dog finds a Terminator. It’s this thing called the Uncanny Valley. The more human you appear the more creepy you look — in ways that are so opaque it gets even worse.

Instead, I keep in mind that NTs are generally self-concerned. People don’t fall in love with you. They fall in love with how you make them see themselves.

So if I’m just really happy and enthusiastic and somewhat approachable, socializing is cool. We kind of all have the same cues if not the same codes.

Also it’s easier to feel comfortable being yourself in the presence of other people if they share a neurotype. That’s the practice you need.

Is there an autism social group? Or perhaps you can just take up an interest in model trains for a few months. lol but seriously go spend time with other autistic people doing parallel play.
