There's a fairly famous paper from 2017 that looks at "thin-slice judgements" of both normal people and those with autism / aspergers. Basically interpreting the immediate first impressions made by aspies and normoids based on looks, manner and speech and whether these first impressions can be changed.

The results across the board show that normal people instantly and permanently reject autistic people within seconds, SECONDS, of seeing them or hearing them or just observing them.

The only time autismoids were not viewed negatively and rejected is when the content of their speech was transcribed i.e people were reading the content of the person's speech completely independently, not listening to some aspie talk or seeing them or being near them but just reading text responses in a vacuum.

Crucially, people's impressions "do not change with increased exposure". It's over in a few seconds and then permanently over forevermore with that same person. If you have autism or that sort of thing then social interactions are over before they begin for you.

for me it's spending all day thinking about the 5-6 people who have left recently and how they're all off in new chapters of their lives while I'm still at the old (current) job doing the same shit they've managed to put behind them

they've gone on without me and I can't stop thinking about it. Suddenly the place that seemed large and full of life feels small and empty, like some closed-off side room while real life is happening out there elsewhere. I think I must have abandonment issues or something because people who I didn't even speak to at work leaving for new jobs has me utterly rattled.
