@thatfrisiangirlish allistic people don’t understand how to describe observations of humans that are different from them without speaking of said humans as beneath them. Nah we get it just fine, we just don’t give a single solitary greasy shit about your social hierarchies.

@thatfrisiangirlish We understand hierarchy, we just don't see any intrinsic value in them. When they aren't adding any value, why construct them at all?

@thatfrisiangirlish I thought about this just today, but what I thought was that we have no "instinctive" understanding of human pack hierarchy. Heck, it was only recently I figured out normally people care about things like feeling socially dominant, to a degree where people actually feel someone high in a corporate hierarchy deserve more benefits and less responsibility solely on the merit of their rank. If you don't feel that way but stop and think about it it's seen as not understanding it.

@thatfrisiangirlish We not only understand the hierarchy, we also understand how the organizational structure is being abused in a way that those who are doing the abuse would prefer not to be scrutinized or explained. We understand how to repair the intentional brokenness of the hierarchy that would--coincidentally, I'm sure--reduce the hierarchal influence of the person saying we don't understand. We also understand unfounded smear rumors used to discredit opposition.

@thatfrisiangirlish More condescending & hopelessly wrong bullshit about #autistic people! I'm fed up with it! Who are these idiots who claim we "don't understand hierarchies"?

@thatfrisiangirlish@blahaj.zone idm that much about hierarchies, tho a lot of times hierarchies are very bloated (sometimes with a reason, because "too big company at the point where higher ups should probably be replaced by athenisian election lottery") i have more issues with bureaucracy, even tho i underatand why it exists, just really annoys me really

@stevefelten@mastodon.online 2026-04-27 13:33
@thatfrisiangirlish The problem is the heirarchy is based on who is closest to the money, so sociopathic marketing whores rule over capable, well-educated engineers.

@thatfrisiangirlish i understand hierarchies perfectly clear, i'm just calling them bullshit i see them as much a systemic tool as other things, and i will (ab)use it to get things done ("you" = generic you) if you care that much about the hierarchy, explain to me why it exists in its current form, why that's important, and why i should care if not, or if you don't want to, then i will take it upon myself to see if it stands the test of time, and/or if it should even exist or not

@thatfrisiangirlish We *understand* hierarchies, therefore we only *respect* them if they make sense.

@thatfrisiangirlish I have little to no innate understanding of why people persist in upholding hierarchies. It's a weird primate holdover that makes no logical sense. It seems like evolved people should be able to shake it. As an adult, I've acquired more insights into how it works, and how important status is to NTs. So while I don't understand hierarchies on an intuitive basis (and never will), I unfortunately understand aspects of its social impact.
-
@Drude@literatur.social 2026-04-28 10:08
@thatfrisiangirlish Another aspect is that we might tend to be polite (or not) to all people, and not especially polite to people "above", because we see hierarchy as functional and not as "worth" of a person.

@thatfrisiangirlish sometimes I feel the divergence is on the sodevpf non-autistic people. how can you see it NOT like that.

@hsza@social.tudbut.de 2026-04-28 15:21
@thatfrisiangirlish we understand hiarchies too well to go along with them

@SophiaFree@mastodonapp.uk 2026-04-28 13:57
@thatfrisiangirlish I never really saw any worth in badges. Maybe they can motivate people. Maybe they can make people feel good. In many cases they are a tool, that helps to manipulate people. If you really, seriously do what someone wants you to do, because you want to earn the batch itself, it shows to me, that you fell for a trick. Is that also an autistic way to see things?

@stevebrady@mastodon.social 2026-04-28 19:35
@thatfrisiangirlish It's not that I don't cognitively understand hierarchy, I make all sorts of faux pas because I focus on transmitting or obtaining information without going through rituals of domination or submission first. Or if I account for that, my attempt at those rituals is disrespectfully farcical. This is true regardless of which way the hierarchy flows. I was in charge of a committee, thinking I'm doing it right; some frustrated person said, "We need leadership!"

@thatfrisiangirlish@blahaj.zone Peter's principle: You get promoted until you eventually achieve a job for which you are hundred percent incompetent. That is middle and higher management knowledge. As for the top echelon, you get that job if you are good with investors and shareholders. Any knowledge about company, production, work mechanics, staff policy, human resources or such is just icing on a cake that you slice for other people.
