I expect much more success attacking the second half of the sentence. Knowing that signaling is a core component of preferences, train your decision apparatus to acknowledge it, and take it into account.
This seems very sensible to me, and I know that it’s a learnable skill, because I’ve already taught one person to do it. I don’t know how a normal-brained person would go about learning it on their own, but having an autistic friend to whom social signaling comes across as nonsense question you every time you stop making sense works for that, and also gives you good practice expressing yourself clearly at the same time.
I’m almost tempted to offer my services at that, but I tend to be too busy to do it intensively these days… still, if someone thinks they can make a case that it’d be a good use of my time to work with them on that, I’m willing to listen, and can be reached here, or in Second Life with this username.
