Why do Neurotypicals ignore facts and struggle to be direct about why they do things?

I'm going to break my response up into many parts. Because I'm often censored. But I have an answer, based partially on the book by Ian Ford, aspergers guide to neurotypicals.

Neurotypicals live inside symbolic spaces that do not exist or exist to a lesser extent for autistics.

2. NTs constantly imagine what other people think and create an imaginary symbolic space that feels real to them and partially dictates their movements.

3. They all participate in this space, and this space is called culture. It's a kind of shared imaginary space often invisible to autistics. Cultures vary. But they dictate to NTs where they exist in a heirachy, who they are to some degree, and the symbolic meaning of behaviors.

4. Different societies have different cultural norms. But, one thing they have in common is the ability to coordinate behaviors and shape interpretations of reality.

5. Culture is supposed to help people work together to support each other's identity and important behaviors.
