Neurotypicals, what do autistic people look like to you?

Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that's like me. Obviously, that's not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??

  • I don't think I've ever "clocked" an autistic person. I'm not very perceptive with social cues, though.

    • What does "'clocked' an autistic person" mean?

      • Saw someone and thought they were autistic. I.e. I can't realize unless someone tells me and I don't have any close acquaintances that have told me.

        But I also don't know if that's typical or not.

        • Honestly, and please take this with a grain of salt, this reads as you being autistic. You said you were bad with social cues, and I personally find it harder to “clock” other people as autistic unless I’m trying too.
