But taking it as a given that Alicorn’s comment completely misunderstood the state of an AS male, how does it show that she also completely misunderstands the state of an AS female, and how does the comment therefore provide support for your suggestion that Alicorn’s AS is in doubt because she made that comment?
Because if she had AS, she would be approaching sociality from (more of a) blank slate, and would have to get explicit, conscious knowledge of the rules of sociality she learned, which could then be explained to other AS blank slates, male or female. But her advice is spoken from the perspective of someone who never had to systematize, but only had tacit understanding of sociality—and hence sounds vague to those who really need the advice.
