See my answer to that question is “er, yes, obviously??!” and so I assume, apparently incorrectly, that everyone is like me.

I have a hard time imagining this. What kind of scenario are you imagining?

If it's obvious to you that everyone should be bothered by people being friendly then there's an error in your reasoning process.

I'm guessing you're either from the midwest US, or not from the US. Am I right?

		I'm from the US and not the Midwest. Not rural either. If I'm clearly doing something it might bother me, otherwise I would find it nice to meet someone new. I have mild asd and large gatherings cause anxiety, but if I'm just sitting people watching or on a stroll, talking to one or two people wouldn't bother or stress me.
