Autistic hypersensitivities are part of it, as they can make the world overwhelming to the point of distress.
But also, our communication styles bring difficulties with fitting in, and that onus gets placed firmly on our shoulders and ours alone.

It's usually seen as a matter of autistic deficit. But research on the double empathy problem suggests something more relational. Difficulties in understanding tend to arise across neurotypes; not just on one side. 3/10
