I’m sorry, I haven’t really been paying attention. Is Social Dyslexia a diagnosis?
I’m asking because I have felt similarly. At first I thought it was because I was an only child. Then I learned I was a Global-Divergent Thinker.
When “Think outside the box” became a big deal my response was “There’s a box?”
It bothered me for a short time in Junior High, but I figured it wasn’t worth the extreme effort it would take to fit in the group.
No. Social dyslexia is my own term for my problem. It wasn’t just that I have trouble perceiving social faux pas but when they are explained to me I still don’t understand them.
“There’s a box?” is a good way to describe it. To many people there is a box, and good people live inside it. If they are even aware of the box at all.
People like you and I are aware of the box and it’s in our nature to step outside of it. “Because that’s the way it’s done!” just isn’t a good enough reason for us.
