Protip, you don’t HAVE to do smalltalk. I mean, it can be a helpful way to get a real convo started. But you can just text people a picture of your favourite dinosaur and explain why they’re your favourite. You can even text them ‘do you believe objective moraliy exists’ if that’s your cup of tea. Nothing bad will happen to you. If they still git you with the idk, at least you’ll know you don’t share that interest. Yes I’m autistic, how did you know.
