Let's make a list:
How can NTs be a better friend to autistics?
My students asked me this yesterday, and we had a great discussion. I'd love to gather more ideas.

One of our suggestions: use more tone tags. And in person, tell me when you are being sarcastic/joking if it looks like I don't get it.
Also, understand that I may say the wrong thing, but I'm usually not trying to be rude, so if something comes out wrong, please remember I'm not trying to be offensive.
I'm thinking of putting together a list to share. Please retweet to gather lots of ideas.
Based on the response to this thread, I will definitely be curating a list soon!
Also, let me know in advance if other people are invited too, so I can wrap my head around who I will be socializing with, or make a choice not to come. If plans change (esp. more people are coming), let me know as soon as possible.
