Please forgive the blind guy for bumping into things, he doesn't mean to
Please forgive the socially blind for saying wrong things at the wrong times
Or not saying right things at the right times
They may give you funny looks, blank stares, awkward pauses, odd gestures, stand too close, too far away, speak in the wrong tone, say the wrong thing, laugh at the wrong time, that kind of thing
They can't really have a normal social life, they're blind to it!
But they still want your love and respect, and don't mean any harm
Plus there's still stuff blind guys can do, like talk on the phone, or sing to you
The socially blind can do stuff too. Just not in quite the same way as you
They're better off working alone than in groups for a start
So they might not mingle very often, but they're still part of the human team. They're on your side. So cut them a little slack, if you can
