@pathfinder @actuallyautistic Your description of allistics sounds disturbingly like a description of SOCIOPATHS. Not identical, but close. Everything said is first and foremost for effect. The difference is whether truth is even a secondary consideration, or not a consideration at all.
Long before my very recent realization that I am myself autistic, I had observed that although typical ordinary people are not sociopaths, they much closer to being sociopaths than most of them would think possible. Your theory of allistic communication looks to me like a validation and explanation of this grim truth.
Having now realized that what I thought of as a collection of personal quirks adds up to autism, and makes for a much deeper divide than I would have thought possible between myself and the vast majority of humanity, I am frankly beginning to be horrified at the emerging picture of the social world I live in. Allistics are starting to look like disguised lizard people out of a grade B horror movie, or the alien monsters from "They Live", who likewise disguise themselves as people. This picture is painted with a broad brush, and is clearly exaggerated — but how MUCH of an exaggeration is it, really?
