I have autism, hyperlexia, and I've seen people go into the deepest shock when you write prose or speak any way out of their expectations. When I live in other parts of the world, Africa, South America, Middle East, Indonesia, Malaysia, they don't react this way, but in my own country United States of America - they can really have total brain shutdown when you give them anything even slightly different than their expectations from films and songs and audiobooks and television they consume. I've been in autism support groups for over 15 years, and many of us just learn to be silent or not even post our content in public, as it causes so much disturbance of others.
