Assumptions are the corner stone of the curse of knowledge.
NTs make a lot of assumptions about the listener and how they will understand something, because they always operate within a contextual box. They either don’t care, or don’t want to examine their statements from outside perspectives because their perspective is the only one that matters to them. That makes it sound worse than it is, but it’s accurate.
Neurodivergents generally spend a nontrivial amount of time trying to “fit in” with the NTs, often at the cost of their own mental well-being, but I digress. The majority of divergents have the skillset of understanding someone else’s point of view, since it’s a critical tool when building up a persona, aka masking.
I don’t care what anyone says, that’s a skillset, and it can be extremely useful. It’s often not used in a good, or productive way (looping back to the argument of masking being mentally burdensome here). As a tool, out can be used to great benefit, or great detriment, depending on how it’s used.
