Autistic people sometimes struggle with apologizing, because they're never taught how to do it the right way.
When autistic people are taught how to apologize, they're often taught that the sincerity of the apology is determined by how well they can hide their disability.
Not enough eye contact = insincere apology
Struggling to phrase it = insincere apology
Wrong tone = insincere apology
Asking questions to figure out how to prevent doing it again = insincere apology (and "arguing" or "making excuses")
Meanwhile, neurotypical people can continue their patterns while still being considered sincere by these standards.

I'm almost done with telltale except actually not at all since I still need to redo all of episode 5 for the villain route
literally i just can’t comprehend any interpretation of hamlet that doesn’t put grief at the center like. hamlet’s father died and he is actively grieving throughout the play that is the driver of all of his behavior. “is hamlet actually crazy or is he putting on a performance” is a boring question to me because grief is a type of insanity. grief makes you feel like you are performing even when you are all alone. it makes you feel like you’re seeing things it makes you feel completely alone it makes you cling to the people around you it makes you push them away it makes you angry and sad and hamlet wants to kill claudius for replacing his father and taking his mother from him as much as he wants to kill him for revenge.

This is revolutionary y’all. I remember being 13 and refused to go do any ceremony because my parents tried to force me to go through a bar mitzvah. By virtue of the masculine name alone I just couldn’t do it. After that, I felt very alienated from the Jewish community. Having this option is so important for us to repair these binary aspects of our culture (link)
