I think you are very pretty.\u201dA young man walked up to my friend and said this \u2014 to a complete stranger \u2014 with the quiet confidence of someone who saw no reason not to. My friend, caught off guard, smiled politely and nodded her thanks.This happened during a volunteering event here in Singapore, where my friend and I spent time with autistic youths. Ben (not his real name) had simply noticed my friend was attractive and wanted her to know. No hidden agenda. Just an honest observation, plainly expressed.For many of us, that directness might feel socially out of place. Researcher Damian Milton calls this the \u201cdouble empathy problem\u201d \u2014 the idea that communication difficulties between autistic and non-autistic people arise from a mutual mismatch in social styles, not a flaw in the autistic person alone (Milton, 2012). Ben meant no harm. He simply said what he felt, in the way that felt natural to him."}
